Can you translate that. It's nonsense because many upstreams do that?
(I know I don't. On the autocrap-
using projects I inherited, I just run "autoreconf -i -f" with whatever
version I have on my system and ignore all the warnings.)
Sure. You must be able to tell, at a glance, which version of autoconf and automake were used by upstream, and what the impact will be as a result of rebuilding with, most likely, Fedora's different version, even before introducing any patches. I mean, after all, autoconf has such a perfect record of 100% backwards compatibility, as far as I can remember.
Sounds like a plan to me.
