In second thought, that really brings up one of my primary points: People don't like upgrading autoconf version usage on old branches because it brings about unknown effects a lot of the time. IE, it's simply not safe to do without heavy understanding and testing. It's like adding a feature; you don't do it on stable releases because it can't be trusted. And thus, if we want developers to use fedora we should distribute multiple versions of the development tools when version updates have potentially large ramifications. -- "In the bathtub of history the truth is harder to hold than the soap, and much more difficult to find." -- Terry Pratchett -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
