Yes, I am getting upstream fixing aspects of this, and yes I will look at moving to a later autoconf, but please don't remove the previous versions of autoconf or ban autotools from the spec files. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
