@drewdevault Many projects have more steps than just "autoreconf", for instance curl also needs extra steps to update the version in the header files and to generate the changelog file (see https://curl.se/mail/lib-2024-03/0062.html and https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/curl-8_7_1/maketgz). Unfortunately, there's no standard command like "./configure" or "make dist" to do these steps, each project does it differently, some have shell scripts (which might need uncommon setups), some have a list of commands in a text file somewhere...
