Bug Description

Hi

We all know that autotools sucks but still is the most used build system. It would be nice if g-a-j could be build/installed using autotools. It will make packagers life easier.

Thanks

What problem do you have with the current build system?

(DistUtils is pretty much standard for Python. If the problem is DistUtilsExtras not being available on your distribution, I'd be OK with shipping a copy of it in the release tarballs.)

DistUtils extras is available but there are some problems with the schemas install specially with RPMs. I suggest to change to autotools since it's the most build system used and it's very often to see on GNOME applications, see GNOME 3.0.

Changing the build system is not a solution for a packaging problem.
