A quick look makes me think I can hack kdevelop into always using
specific versions of autofsck tools, which we could then add as
RUN_DEPEND to the port. I'll need to do some testing on this later, and
discuss it with the other kde@ people.
Specifically, this error report is because kdevelop will look for
binaries named automake/autoconf, which are installed by automake-1.5
and autoconf-2.53 ports respectively. Since 2.53 < 2.54, you get the
error. I'll see if I can make kdevelop use automake-1.7 and
autoconf-2.57 ports instead.
No promises on a fix though, I've got N+10 tasks outstanding, with time
for only N. If you're lucky, you'll get it in the next kdevelop
release, if you're not lucky...
