The problem is Mike is using Meson to generate the tarball so configure isn't created. Maybe also listing the instructions to build with Meson here as well as an alternative would be worth while so people kmow how to test it. Alternatively at one point raster suggested on irc continuing to make the release tarballs with autotools but adding the meson build files to the extra dist files in autotools so they also get included. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
