Since these are typically minor changes but can affect a lot of ports it's often not practical to wait for approval for every maintainer, because that blocks the change for weeks and we'd never get anything done. Committers are expected to test all changes they make, so normally this isn't a problem, except when the committer screws up and breaks ports. In this case they are expected to quickly undo their damage; I'm not happy that Ade has not done so. I expect him to test his changes better in the future, and to submit patches for testing when making changes that have a wide impact. I'd also like him to help you resolve this problem, since it's causing continued pain. > I'm trying to cooperate here, but this is getting really annoying, > and you are not being entirely helpful. >=20 > Can you answer my original question? The USE_AUTOCONF_VER and related knobs appear to not yet be functional (in all cases?). Revert the changes made in r1.33 of the makefile and stick to the WANT_ version for now.
