Subject: Autotools and "foreign"
Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2014 19:40:08 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <53EA5178.7020209@topic.nl> (raw)

I tried to upgrade to the current master, and got a few dozen packages 
now failing to build because of automake errors like this:

| Makefile.am: error: required file './NEWS' not found
| Makefile.am: error: required file './README' not found
| Makefile.am: error: required file './AUTHORS' not found

This apparently traces down to:
74b05bba64589da0e4439a4293559ad9670104bd
"autoconf: remove automake patch enforcing --foreign"

Is there an alternative to manually patching all of these packages to 
get them to compile once more?
