Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2015-05-27 21:26:30 UTC 
As seen in:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=467052#c9

A common error with this eclass is people running manually "eautoreconf" but, then, losing the autotools dependencies because of:
[[ ${AUTOTOOLS_AUTORECONF} ]] || : ${AUTOTOOLS_AUTO_DEPEND:=no}

I am unsure if it would be possible to detect an ebuild is running "eautoreconf" but not setting AUTOTOOLS_AUTO_DEPEND=yes :/

Thanks

The eclass is dead and going away.
