One option open to me is to package and upload a 2.59 pre-release to Debian "unstable". I imagine that this would lead to more widespread testing of the pre-release, which might work to catch incompatibilities in advance of the final 2.60 release. Any comments on whether this is a good idea? -- Ben Pfaff email: blp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx web: http://benpfaff.org _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
