Use autoreconf instead gnome-autogen.sh (3.13 KB, patch)

Description Javier Jardón (IRC: jjardon) 2010-12-05 17:16:33 UTC 
autoreconf is the "upstream" tool and can replace gnome-common completely.
Also gnome-common is a bit unmaintained and there are plans to deprecate it.

Other than the fact that people will need to install autopoint (if using Ubuntu Meerkat), why remove the check for Vala? That's absolutely necessary.

Note: We don't depend on Vala for tarballs, only GIT based Tracker.

The rest of the patch seems fine to me.
Comment 3 Martyn Russell 2010-12-06 12:21:41 UTC 
OK, so I have amended your patch so we still check for Vala in autogen.sh. We don't need Vala when building from a tarball and we want to keep it that way. I know that currently, we have a check for VALAC in configure.ac but that's actually only due to tracker-search-tool which we mean to switch for tracker-needle and then no longer need valac checks in configure.ac.

Thanks for the patch Javier ;)
