#76 Unable to build successfully due to recent commits

[fiskhest]

When attempting to build the most recent version through the package uploaded on AUR I receive the below error.

==> Starting prepare()...
make -f Makefile.am log
autoreconf -f -i
aclocal: error: configure.ac:6: file 'VERSION' does not exist
autoreconf: error: aclocal failed with exit status: 1
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().
    Aborting...
error: failed to build 'mbsync-git-1307.e70c300-1':
error: packages failed to build: mbsync-git-1307.e70c300-1

It seems highly related to https://sourceforge.net/p/isync/isync/ci/8421b3cb223eced0e07ae65eaf21486d22beb573/ - do downstream packagers have to adapt to conform, or is this an oversight here?

do downstream packagers have to adapt to conform

yes, if they use git archives instead of tar balls or plain git clones.

... and additionally, i broke the git bootstrap. heh.
