What about making it optional and making clear that source file foo.c is a generated copy from vala sources that shouldn't be changed. If valac is found, regenerate the sources, even when building from tarball. We don't require aclocal/autoconf/automake for tarball releases either at this moment, but you're allowed to rebuild configure and Makefile.in by running aclocal/autoconf/automake from tarball releases. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
