The programs should be renamed as follows: autoconf & co. - The most current version should be without version suffix: autoconf259 -> autoconf autoheader259 -> autoheader There is not really a reason to keep older versions around except perhaps autoconf213. IF they are kept around, autoreconf should be changed so it will run the right versions; if autoreconf253 is run, it should run autoconf253 rather than autoconf (which fails). automake & co. - These support version tags officially: aclocal19 -> aclocal-1.9 automake19 -> automake-1.9 and so on. The ports should be changed to use these names to ease software development. According changes may need to be made to /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: see above >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
