No, no, it should continue to be an autotools-package. It has a
configure.in, and Makefile.am, it is autotools based, so it should
remain an autotools-package.

Now, since you're getting it from git instead of a tarball, the
configure script and Makefile.in are not pre-generated, so we have to
get them generated.

Can you just try to do:

DIVINE_AUTORECONF = YES

in the package recipe?

Looking at what the autogen.sh script does, I think our autoreconf
logic should work. Otherwise, we will just add a hook in the package
recipe in order to call autogen.

But clearly, converting to generic-package is the wrong way to go.

Best regards,

Thomas
