Package: autoconf
Version: 2.63
Severity: wishlist
Comparing the autoconf 2.63 debian package with a local upstream
install, I find some differences. Part of the patch is this:
-# This is a frozen state file generated by GNU M4 1.4.11
+# This is a frozen state file generated by GNU M4 1.4.9
I.e., the debian package appears to have been built using m4 1.4.9 and
my local version was built using 1.4.11.
M4 1.4.11 has been in debian stable since April 2008, it seems.
I suspect the debian package wasn't built on an up to date debian
unstable (or even testing) machine.
Btw, autoconf recommends m4 1.4.11 or later:
** Autoconf now requires GNU M4 1.4.5 or later. Earlier versions of M4 have
a bug in macro tracing that interferes with the interaction between
Autoconf and Automake. GNU M4 1.4.11 or later is recommended. The
configure search for a working M4 is improved.
Would it be possible to upload a new experimental package built on an up
to date debian unstable or testing machine?
Thanks,
/Simon
