Is autotools the only such tool the fedora committers support? Seems like a lot of things don't require them, and many of those that do require patching by hand to build anyway. Of the 23,054 package Makefiles in the FreeBSD ports tree, only 1732 use any of the autotools (most of those seem to be libtool), and of those, 1165 need further patching(*). <mike Those are *very* rough numbers, based on checking for the USE_AUTOTOOLS variable in the Makefiles and whether or not the port has a files directory (which holds patches). Lots of things could throw those numbers off, but unless something really weird is going on, they should be the right order of magnitude. -- Mike Meyer <m...@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/ Independent Software developer/SCM consultant, email for more information.
