There are a number of outstanding issues relating to the AsciiDoc autotools based installer that have remained unresolved for some time now.
I didn't address these issues in the 8.6.8 release because I don't have enough autoconf and packaging experience to understand the implications (especially with regards to cross-platform installation and downstream packaging issues). 1. 'Upgrade install-sh to one from a recent autotools package' (suggested by Lex). https://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/753a52b2af85fcfc/04c9091b0856fc13 2. 'Take install-vim out of the default target' (suggested by Lex). https://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/753a52b2af85fcfc/04c9091b0856fc13 3. 'Vim files installed into /etc regardless of --prefix', this issue was reported on the issue tracker over a year ago: https://code.google.com/p/asciidoc/issues/detail?id=4 4. 'Makefile.in does not follow the autoconf standard', another long-standing issue: https://code.google.com/p/asciidoc/issues/detail?id=2 I'm happy to leave things as they stand (they've been around for a while and the sky hasn't fallen in) or apply documented tested patches if there is consensus and/or persuasive arguments from affected users and packagers (keep in mind that this area potentially affects downstream packaging and is particularly sensitive to regressions).
