Now I have autoconf259, autoconfXXX, automakeXXX etc, but no 'autoconf', automake' etc. This confuses some ./configure's of third party software. Of course, I can symlink /usr/local/bin/autoconf259 to /usr/local/bin/autoconf (which I did), all that I am asking is whether there is some canonical way to do this via the ports system ('always link the newest installed autoconfXXX to 'autoconf') which I possibly overlooked ... Thanks Jan
