[bind10-dev] Bundled ASIO library in bind10-1.2.0beta1

[Tomas Hozza]

Hi.

I was trying to update the BIND10 to the latest beta version in
Fedora rawhide I noticed that you now bundle the ASIO library
in the sources.

As the Fedora Packaging Guidelines prohibit building against
bundled libraries, I tried to remove the "ext" or "ext/asio"
directory and build BIND10. However the configure script fails
with:

configure.ac:1371: error: required file 'ext/asio/asio/Makefile.in' not found
configure.ac:1371: error: required file 'ext/asio/Makefile.in' not found
ext/Makefile.am:1: error: required directory ext/asio does not exist

I think the configure script should NOT have hard dependency on the
bundled library, but should rather use the system one if it is available.
I think it makes more sense to extend the list of build dependencies,
rather than bundling any library into the tarball.

Regards,
