[naviserver-devel] Naviserver needs autoconf 2.69

[Andrew P. <at...@pi...>]

I pulled a copy of the Naviserver 4.99.6 source release from BitBucket
with Mercurial.  But running ./autogen.sh tells me:

  configure.ac:36: error: Autoconf version 2.69 or higher is required

I'm on Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS, and its newest (normally) available
autoconf appears to be version 2.68 in the autoconf2.50 package.
So I installed the autoconf backport here, which gives me 2.69 and
fixes things on Linux:

But does Naviserver really need such a specific version of autoconf?
Maybe it would be best to just check the output configure file into
the version control system?
