Hello Autoconfers. In Automake 1.14 (whose developement will start in about two weeks from now, once I've released Automake 1.13), I'd like to start relying unconditionally on the Autoconf-provided macro 'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS'. But that macro (and its companion 'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR_TRACE') is so far only present in the development version of Autoconf. So, could we start thinking about cutting an Autoconf release?
The stuff still pending about the requirement of a POSIX shell: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2012-11/msg00020.html> can IMHO be delayed without problems to Autoconf 2.71 (especially considering that we still only have tentative patches in that direction). Objections, opinions? Regards, Stefano
