Autoconf 2.50 was a major change, with a long development cycle, that had plenty of incompatibility with older releases, so that when I packaged it for Debian I kept a compatibility package around for Autoconf 2.13. This seems to be what other distros and operating systems did as well. Autoconf 2.60 has had a long development cycle too, but I'm hoping that it is not sufficiently different from 2.59 to make it necessary to package it separately from 2.59. I'm basing this mostly on the NEWS, which primarily lists new macros. However, it does list some behavioral changes as well, e.g. the change in the expansion of @top_builddir@ and the behavior of AC_SUBST_FILE. Does anyone have input on whether these changes are cumulatively important enough to break much software? -- Ben Pfaff email: blp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx web: http://benpfaff.org _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
