Well, then you have approximately 6 months to get one, *iff* you want to be able to have quieter build logs when building directly from git or after patching a tarball in such a way that you have to re-run automake. That's why I'm proposing this at the start of the 1.8 cycle, so we've got time to both get it fully tested and to get OS/distro maintainers to get ready for it. If you don't mind noisier build logs ("cc -D... -D.. -I... -I... -c foo.c" insead of "CC foo.c"), or only build tarballs produced by upstream without autoreconf'ing, then you should still be able to use automake 1.9 or 1.10. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersm...@sun.com Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering _______________________________________________ xorg-devel mailing list xorg-devel@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
