Thanks. Ok to install m4/autobuild.m4 too? Accidentally, installing it will fix the problem of having to 'mkdir m4' in order to build inetutils from CVS, which is nice. > > Any objections to installing the patch? > > > > My only objection is that m4/ shouldn't be used for this macro, > > the macro should be put in acinclude.m4 instead. > > acinclude.m4 is deprecated according to the Automake manual: > > Oh, I didn't know that.

I haven't seen any such plans, but given that many projects still have a acinclude.m4 I doubt it will be soon. Still, I think GNU projects should follow the best-practices set by other GNU projects if feasible. /Simon _______________________________________________ bug-inetutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-inetutils
