Inspired by Eric Blake's changes to m4 yesterday, ... Note that this doesn't change anything for tarballs created by me. This change makes it harder for others to build using a dangerously old/buggy version of automake.
>From b1abbe410f0d42dd5e69f1e4c606e7210c5c4950 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering <meyer...@redhat.com> Date: Wed, 6 Jan 2010 10:14:23 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] build: require newer versions of automake and autoconf * configure.ac: Require autoconf-2.62 and automake-1.11.1 or newer. * bootstrap.conf (buildreq): Require automake-1.11.1 or newer, to ensure people use a version with the fix for CVE-2009-4029. Note that the coreutils-8.2 tarball included a fixed Makefile.in.
