suppose no need to use customized package options. Fixes #804

LGTM.

The purpose of that line was so that meson could be used to create dist tarballs (that contain a ./configure script). Removing this means that you cannot do meson dist and upload the resulting tarball as a universal release asset.

That may or may not be desirable. An alternative would be to include it via EXTRA_DIST.

thanks, so your initial purpose is adding the missing files into the tarball generated by meson dist, and these file are not using meson , but auto config. so it is not a universal release asset if there are no such files in the tarball.
but from another perspective. people should not expect to call autogen.sh if there are only meson.

That may or may not be desirable. An alternative would be to include it via EXTRA_DIST.

will you contribute a patch? suppose new patch will add missing files, but will not ask auto config support when run meson...

Sure.

Note that meson only wants auto config support when running meson dist, it is simply that the helper script run during dist should always exist.

thanks,

quick summary:
the origin issue #804 is caused by two problem:

  1. meson need autogen.sh when run "meson setup builddir", we are expecting it only be needed only when "meson dist"
  2. the autogen.sh is not existing in the tarball, because there are no such file in the tarball generated by "make dist-bzip2"

so, current patch could be used to hide the problem. until you have a official fix
