Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2015-04-14 18:19:36 UTC
Hi!

I get many reports because of the QA check added for bug 426262... but looks like nobody is really fixing them. Then, I wonder what is the way to go. Are we allowed to simply make "mv configure.in configure.ac" (in the case it doesn't break of course)? Is there any other way that could prevent us from needing to add this magic to tons of ebuilds?

Thanks a lot for your help :)

you should report the issue upstream and once there's a bug there, put the `mv` into the ebuild with a comment linking to the upstream report

 # See http://xxxx
 mv configure.{in,ac} || die

Any updates on this? Noticed there's still a few occurrences on packages I'm using.
