--- Comment #5 from Mathletic <f...@grueninger.de> --- Four years later, it might be a good idea to repeat the question and hear what people think today. 1. Autotools lack man power and is admitting this fact openly. 2. The problem at hand is, that Autotools became more exotic and fewer developers are able or willing to spend time with it. 3. In the meantime a couple of other big project moved away from Autotools, e.g., Flatpak, Mesa, Xorg. 4. Given the prototype can be updated, LibreOffice can introduce it as an optional way of building and improving it over time. This does not necessarily cost money. Nevertheless, I think it would be money well spent. 5. Maybe use CMake instead of Meson. Most important is getting rid of Autotools mid-term. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
