However, there are a number of things ahead of that, most notably: 1. Identifying ports that use autoconf-2.53 and migrating them to 2.59 2. Reworking all of autoconf* and automake* to install in their "normal" locations 3. Introduction of a devel/autotool-wrapper port to considerably reduce complexity (Gentoo is being used as the basis for this) It's going to take "a while", particularly given the widespread use of these ports, but the end result will be an autotools system that will be *identical* in manner (for both ports and non-ports use) to Linux distributions. - -aDe -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (Darwin) iD8DBQFE2sEJpXS8U0IvffwRAtV4AJ4nxKOfbvakoFaTOvIYRbZFOdW/0gCfXwGA h9brIEYg8kCuvhvguSk03cQ= =T0nB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
