Comment (by jdemeyer):
Replying to [comment:17 felixs]:
> autotools is worthless without executables named $program-$version.
That's far from true, I have used this package many times. Perhaps the
exacutables you mention are indeed needed for `automake` rules, but
"worthless" is certainly not the right word.
> please readd my patch that provides those executables
I'm certainly not going to add your exact patch as it has some comments
which sound offending (I assume the comment {{{next time RTFM}}} in
`autofoo` is addressed at me). If you want to add comments, better make
them say something useful such that people can understand the purpose of
the code.
More to the point: I think those version numbers are surely also needed
for `aclocal` (and perhaps only for `automake` and `aclocal`?) and it
seems your patch doesn't add those.
TL;DR: stop offending people, stop thinking your opinion is the One and
Only Truth. Then people will be more willing to work with your patches.
