            Bug ID: 30001
           Summary: Port to autoconf build system (maybe use sbrabec's
                    patch?)
           Product: bzip2
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: bzip2
          Assignee: nobody at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: slyich at gmail dot com
                CC: bzip2-devel at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

To ease cross-compilation of bzip2 NixOS uses

   
https://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/sbrabec/bzip2/for_downstream/bzip2-1.0.6.2-autoconfiscated.patch
version of autoconf build system for bzip2.

WDYT of merging it upstream in some form?

Currently NixOS generates ./configure using autoconf and automake. NixOS would
prefer using autoconf-based upstream bzip2 release tarball without a dependency
on these development tools.

Thanks!
