Olivier Mengué commented on AXIS2C-1436:
----------------------------------------
autotools are tools which generate code that will be in the distribution. Those
tools are only used to build releases.
So the libtool upgrade impacts only the developers (which build code from svn
and which run autogen.sh) and the release manager.
autotools are not used by people that take release archives and build them,
even from source.
Deployment should not be negatively impacted by an autotools upgrade (unless
there is a bug in code generated by autotools).
An autotools upgrade impact positively AIX build: it fixes issues.
To make Fedora 10 deployments I suppose that the packager takes the source
archive released by the Axis2/C team, so they don't need autotools neither to
build the package or at runtime.
> Can we not have platform specific settings in libtool/autoconf?
The autotools are already the tools that generate code to automatically handle
platform specific settings.
Upgrading autotols on the release build platform fixes AIX build issues, as the
generated code is fixed.
