That's not a different reason... ;-) (m4 is a prerequisite for building Sage.) config.sub and config.guess are [also] frequently outdated in many [s]pkgs, so it may make sense to use a single, up-to-date instance of both. > I don't really see the need of shipping other autotools. Me neither, at least not as standard spkgs / for users. Your (optional) autotools spkg is meant as a convenience for *developers* if I understand correctly, but neither m4 nor libtool belong to autotools. -leif -- -- To post to this group, send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
