The distributed tarball needs
autoreconf
to run before it can be built; otherwise the docs say that you don't need autotools. It's helpful to include enough to avoid autotools because the latest autotools gives a bunch of warnings. Including, say,configure
andMakefile.in
allows someone porting the code to eliminate/replace these files without much effort, but enables the person who isn't replacing them to continue with minimal fuss as well.Additionally, the lack of a
darwin/amd64
orosx-arm-jq
is causing some users to try to overlay the missing tool so we should provide an update that includes that arch.
