   Dear !fedora are there any tools to automate fetching the source from path with autotools without polluting the devel environment?

     @ruiseabra Not sure what you mean, does 'yumdownloader --source' and then installing the SRPM not help in this case? !fedora

     @ruiseabra @stickster there is also rpmdev-extract to unpack the SRPM without installing it

     @tyll that's not what I need: there's a dir with the svn of a project. point and shoot

     @ruiseabra Then maybe "make dist" is what you want, but it requires to run at least ./configure to get the Makefile.

     @tyll remember me saying I know how to make dist? :)

     @tyll no problem :) what I wanted to know was if there was already some script to point at autotools repo's and cut some slack.

     @tyll Never saw that command before, from 'rpmdevtools' I assume -- thanks much for the pointer!
