At the moment they are required after a cvs checkout of Libtool HEAD for building itself. Packages libtoolized with CVS Libtool do not need CVS Automake/Autoconf. Packages `libtoolize -ldtl'ed with CVS Libtool /might/ at the moment need CVS Autotools, but I am not sure. Any of the restrictions mentioned in the former paragraph must and will be removed before a stable release. But that will most likely happen after removing all other regressions are fixed and the branch point is created. And yes, we plan on testing all of this before the release. > I can personally live with that the person doing the actual > libtoolize needs cvs-autotools, but the rest of the > developers on the package should not be required to use > cvs-autotools. Neither of them should need this. Not even people working on the release branch of Libtool. Rationale: Libtool is a user of libltdl and should work similar to other users of libltdl. If that use needs CVS Autotools, other packages that use libltdl most likely do, too. Cheers, Ralf _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
