[opensuse-packaging] Using autogen.sh in a spec file?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone, sorry if this is an old hat, but I just stumbled upon it. lxc changed the sources layout between 1.0.x and 1.1, and no longer directly includes a configure file. So it has to be generated via ./autogen.sh. What's the right way to do this in a spec file? Just call the autogen.sh script? Or is there a macro for it? I found an older mail from Ludwig (and others), where %_configure is being redefined to run autogen.sh http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2011-02/msg00032.html Regards, Johannes - -- Having a 'non-smoking' section in a restaurant is like having a 'non-peeing' section in a pool.

Why do we need a macro for every miniscule thing? Just like writing %__mv for mv is stupid. (There is a some corner case where it finds application, but definitely not in GNU systems like openSUSE.) As for autogen.sh, I have conversed with many maintainers who refuse to even have such a script in their SCM repos, because one can just call autoreconf as well. And that is probably what you should be doing in the spec file too unless it turns out not to work (such as when upstream plays tricks like editing .ac/.am files beforehand). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

I was just wondering if calling this via macro is the preferred way on openSUSE.

Just call autoreconf -fiv if that works, sometimes it does not though. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

When was the last time you had mv being an alias in a buildroot? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
