I agree, due to the versioning problem. It looks like there are 5
versions of automake in active use ("yum list automake*")...
That isn't a good situation, but assuming that the one named
'automake' will work with the current package is not a robust
assumption.
It doesn't seem to be a big deal to either BuildRequire the specific
needed version, or to include the configure/Makefile.in/etc bits in
the patch.
Also ideally, upstream packagers would move to more recent auto*
releases. Updating from automake 1.[678] to 1.9 is generally not a
big deal. Autoconf upgrades, or automake 1.[45]->1.9 upgrades, can be
harder.
