Created attachment 132734 [details] [review] add autogen to EXTRA_DIST in Makefile.am For patching configure.ac it would be nice to also have ./autogen.sh to recreate ./configure and Makefile.in. I see that popplers autogen.sh is not trivial, so it would be nice to have it in the official tarballs. Trivial patch is attached.
If you are developing, get the code from git, developing over the tarball is a really bad idea and should not be encouraged. So -1 from my side unless you can give me a reason to change my mind.
Agreed; the packaged source releases are not the place for Autotools-specific files. Suggest closing this as RESOLVED/INVALID.
