No matter what the security regime is, it will always break down. Always. The question is not whether security could be improved. Security could always be improved. The question is whether it's worth the effort. Abstractly, I think Autoconf machinery to support security checking is a good idea, but the devil is in the details. One good way to help determine whether the proposed change to Autoconf is worth the effort is to see whether someone is willing to volunteer the work to make the proposed change happen, and to donate their change to the FSF. Are you willing and able to do that? If not, can you find someone who is? _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
