--- Begin Message ---Package: automake1.7 Version: 1.7.6-1 Severity: wishlist autoconf and libtool both provide the latest upstream releases now, should automake join the club and provide 1.7 when "automake" is asked for, rather than the older 1.4 release -- which is a bit crusty and not quite as nice to live with :o) I realise that automake1.6 and automake1.7 won't work with autoconf2.13, and that making autoconf2.13 inconvenient to use is a bridge nobody wants to cross yet... but I've already crossed it. The current libtool package is 1.5, which will not work with autoconf2.13, in order to get a version that does, users need to install libtool1.4 instead. Maybe what we need is a dummy package: Package: autotools Depends: autoconf (>> 2.57), automake (>> 1.7), libtool (>> 1.5), autotools-dev And then for those who refuse to abandon the sinking ship of autoconf2.13, another one Package: older-autotools Depends: autoconf2.13, automake1.4, libtool1.4, autotools-dev (I'll maintain such a package, if it's considered desirable) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux descent.netsplit.com 2.4.21 #1 Tue Jul 22 18:43:07 BST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=en_GB.ISO-8859-1, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.ISO-8859-1 Versions of packages automake1.7 depends on: ii autoconf 2.57-6 automatic configure script builder ii autotools-dev 20030717.1 Update infrastructure for config.{ -- no debconf information
