Both autoconf and automake have relatively new releases that have been out in the world for a little while now--2.52 and 1.5, respectively. Libtool also has a rather recent release (1.4) that I've already used to build our last few release tarballs. For our 0.12 release, I'd like to require autoconf 2.52. It has many improvements over the 2.13 release. Leveraging some of improvements will break compatibility with 2.13. Not leveraging them will result in a number of warnings that complain about use of deprecated features. (It is evident from this as well as the tone of many comments in the autoconf documentation that the autoconf authors are eager for users to leave the legacy of 2.13 behind.) If requiring the newer autotools releases is going to be a problem for anyone, speak up. -- Braden McDaniel e-mail: <br...@en...> <http://endoframe.com> Jabber: <br...@ja...> |
