I presumed we were using "make dist" functionality to roll the release tarballs, which is what jhdebuild does when its rolling debian packages from SVN. Jonnylamb? ./autogen.sh && make distcheck on libsynce passes and produces a libsynce tarball without the cruft. In GNOME at least, this is generally considered the de facto test of whether or not your autofoo is on crack. > This is probably to mimic gnome-autogen.sh, but unfortunately without > support for NOCONFIGURE.

I considered using using gnome-autogen.sh, but i thought it best to avoid hard GNOME build-deps for the sanity of our KDE users. I was initially going to svn cp, but we decided to svn mv to avoid duplication and it would be easy to roll back if someone came up with a severe problem. Unless someone wants to use this opportunity to propose an alternative build system (e.g. opensync and KDE are using cmake, which is quite nice) then i will steal parts of gnome-autogen.sh when I get home (tomorrow evening..) to implement NOCONFIGURE.
