As there should not be, nor should any other configuration or build generated files. It's a maintainer or developer's job to create these for the release of a tarball. autoconf/automake/autotest are designed with the end-user/administrator in mind. > After running aclocal and autoreconfig --install I get the following > > aclocal: configure.ac: 47: macro `AM_GNU_GETTEXT' not found in library You probably need to install automake as well. (The "AM_" prefixed macros come from the automake package.) Personally, I think monotone's use of autoconf/automake/autotest has made things quite easy to use from a package maintainer's point of view. I agree that tests that aren't acted upon are fairly useless, but they're nice to have when they're needed. I'm currently trying to migrate GNU GNATS to automake and bring configure.ac up to date, and honestly, monotone's use of these tools has helped me template my effort. Once in place, it shouldn't be too hard to maintain. Maybe as I gain more experience with the toolset, my opinion will change. _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
