Re: automake: 1.4, 1.5, and wrapper

A few requests regarding automake:

1) Could you please include the attached patch in automake1.4? This
makes automake-1.4 compatible with the other versions in accepting

together (yes, it does happen), autoreconf -f -i -v fails.

Sure, no problem.

Uploaded. announcement forthcoming.


2) Could you please package automake1.5 as well? freeglut uses it.

Errr...okay. I had originally planned to have the whole rainbow (1.4-1.9) but for some reason -- which I cannot remember right now -- I ended up not doing 1.5. I wonder why...


Anyway, I can do this.

However, I now know why I didn't provide it originally: am-1.5 does not support side-by-side installs out of the box. I had to back port a bunch of stuff from 1.6, including 'dirlist' and AM_AUTOMAKE_VERSION support. However, it wasn't that bad, and all 324 self tests now pass.
