yes - the patch I posted check for 'autoreconf' - and if it exists - only then the 'git clone' is used.
and then it runs 'autoreconf' before attempting to run configure. Satish On Thu, 27 Jun 2013, Timothy J. Tautges wrote: > Sounds good.

It should be rolled into the above common url notation. [note: the current git code ignores user specified --download-package=url - and just goes ahead and does the git stuff specified in package.py] Somehow we have to add in 'prereqisites' to the 'repo' type urls in the above scheme. And then perhaps retrieval.py can be asked to ignore repo-urls with some option like '--url-git=no' Also - the repo urls need better support wrt: 'getting updates & rebuilding package'. Current code for this is tarball centric [with some bad behavior - like not detecting a changed url etc..] Satish > >
