Hi,
this is a political change. procps in current version probably doesn't
need autotools but it can be good change for future. I have nothing
against this change.

But there is a problem with package name. We are fork of procps and
we have the same name. We are doing big changes now - new top and
increasing package version. We should rename package to avoid confusion.

After this change we can increase package version and go ahead.

What name do you propose?
(There was proposed something like procps-dsf last year.)

Hello,

Here is a patch set which will replace make files with autotools.
I have understood that dpkg&  rpm maintainers welcome this
enchancement, but let me know if I am mistaking. Since the change
is quite big I changed version number to be 3.3.0. See diff stats
bellow.

p.s. The gitignore change I sent earlier should be ignored.
