But how do you feel about the slightly different situation of shipping a pristine tarball but not performing an autoreconf (etc etc) prior to ./configure -- thus deviating from the "normal" process of building that package from source? At least it's very clear how an autoconf-output-stripped tarball is going to be built. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
