well, end-users use the release tar.gz or snapshot tar.gz and thus they don't edit the Makefile.am and don't need automake. and if they do, wouldn't it be better to alert them instead of ignoring their change? but I'm fine with keeping it, no strong feeling for either side. it doesn't blow up the code much and is quite well known and doesn't cause bad side effects or anything, so I'm a bit in favor of best usability for everyone, i.e. keeping it. > Can we/I commit these changes now and manage complaints/problems or do > we want to wait until a new stable version of OpenSC is released? I'm fine with applying these changes now.
