Quoting Ismail Doenmez
We already have two packages containing config.guess and config.sub: - libtool - automake
These are not always up to date :) e.g aarc64 case.
Patch them and have one source of truth... don't carry the same file too often: it's confusing and nobody knows where to patch in the end.
As for the macros: *IF* we go that route: why not have %configure do the logic and copy the right files? Instead of messing up all packages with an additional macro?
Because explicit is always better than implicit. I might want to do ../configure instead of %configure. No need to make %configure more complicated and its already is.
If I don't want to use %configure but want to ./configure -bla for whatever reason, I can as well cp the file from /usr/share or even execute autoreconf... why would I want to use the new macro then? :) Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
