   @berrange @notting @joshbressers I always look at migrating to either CMake (my preferred one) or Meson (much less preferred but still better) when I encounter a project with Autotools or plain makefiles. In both cases, it usually winds up being a mess of a project that the conversion cleans up and the end result is much more understandable.

     @notting @joshbressers indeed, not using autotools is a blessing in oh so many ways. I don't miss m4 one little bit.

     @joshbressers @berrange the hip thing (I am assuming, I don't do as much these days) is to not use autotools.

     Of course, that has its own costs in migration, testing, growing new python build dependencies, etc.
