Description Justin Lecher (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-12-17 14:06:27 UTC
It would be nice to have a better handling of needed eautoreconf in the eclass to avoid this

src_prepare() {
	autotools-utils_src_prepare
	eautoreconf
}

So either we could have a variable to force the autoreconf or the eclass could check for modifiactions at configure.{ac,in} Makefile.am or so and trigger eautoreconf execution by that. Maybe with a negative blocking variable for autoreconf.

There's some testing in mgorny overlay but it's ugly without fixes to autotools.eclass.
