Hi,

Can someone recommend a "template" email I can send to upstream
developers requesting that they bootstrap their release tarballs?

libcue recently moved from sourceforge to github and it seems that they
have forgotten to bootstrap the new tarballs. I'm not familiar enough
with the Autotools system to know what to ask them to do.

Thank you! This is exactly the email I was looking for. I will adapt it
as necessary.

It might also be useful to point them at

It looks like upstream is preparing a new release that switches from
Autotools to CMake. I'll just wait for that. We can close this bug.
