Which platform does really need it these days, which wouldn't have the later one?" I don't know. That is exactly the problem that it is impossible to check all the systems. Links runs on many systems that I have no longer access to (BeOS, AtheOS) or systems that I had never access to (RiscOS, AIX, Playstation, someone even run it on some Satellite receiver with Linux). Someone even found an old SunOS system without memmove, strstr or other, so Links contains definitions of these functions. So I don't upgrade the autoconf version. There is no benefit from doing it and it might break systems silently. BTW. do the autoconf developers have some QA test farm? I.e. a museum of old computers or emulators and testing the autoconf-generated script on all of them? I know that the configure script is supposed to run even on UnixV7 on PDP-11, the question is just how often someone tries it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
