[Mesa-dev] Lets talk about autotools

[Emil Velikov]

Hi all,

I can see why people may opt to not use or maintain the autotools build.
Although I would kindly ask that we do not remove it just yet.

In Mesa, we have different parts not used by different teams. As such
we tend to remove stuff when nobody is around to maintain it anymore.

That said, I'm planning to continue maintaining it and would appreciate
if we keep it in-tree.

As people may be concerned about bugreports and alike we can trivially
add a warning (as configure is invoked) to forwards any issues to my
email. Additionally (or alternatively) we can have an autotools bugzilla
category with me as the default assignee.

What do you guys think?

Thanks
Emil
