I still need to figure out all the packages that build-depend on automake incorrectly, and file bugs on them. I'm not sure I will ever make the latest release of automake in the package named automake, since if something similar to the 1.4-1.5 transition happens again, people will be pissed off. But I hope to have all the automake packages Provides: automake so that people can depend on automake if they need just some version of it. =20 --=20 Eric Dorland [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: #61138586, Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1024D/16D970C6 097C 4861 9934 27A0 8E1C 2B0A 61E9 8ECF 16D9 70C6 -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.12 GCS d- s++: a-- C+++ UL+++ P++ L++ E++ W++ N+ o K- w+=20 O?
