Hi, I'm fighting with BuildRequires here and was wondering about the auto* family of tools. configure checks for them at build time and during builds of some packages. Are these tools actually needed for the package to build (ie: should they be a BuildRequire?)
A related question: If I change something up the tool chain (A configure.in or Makefile.am) should I do my auto*'ing inside the .spec or do it in my work area before hand and create a patch? The latter will generate a bigger patch, but it seems cleaner....
