I'm quite sure we did have such a check back some years ago back when there were less compatible versions of autoconf in wide use. It could be restored if someone wants to write a patch. > Would it be possible to add a commit hook? It seems like that would be the > correct place to catch it. It could but I'm sure you'd agree this is not something we need to be spending time on with our soon-to-be-retired hg-based workflow. As I suggested earlier in this thread, if there is interest in doing something, it should be considered for the new git-based workflow and, "if it hasn't already been discussed there, it might be worth bringing up on the core-workflow mailing list". -- Ned Deily n...@python.org -- [] _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers Code of Conduct: https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
