Until I get time to do automake-1.7.whatthefuckever and it, and it's not that simple munging the info entries, etc. You still will have no (easy) way to tell your port to use it in port makefile until a change that I just made to the bsd.port.mk file gets put back in (in a modified form, most likely) as the builder of the DP2 ports was having some autoconf/automake related problems (which may or may not have been related to the patch) and reverted the commit. So as to port availablity, I'd guess a week or two, mod kde issues, since 3.1 is on its way or out now, and maybe 2-6 weeks for any kind of support in bsd.port.mk, if everything goes nicelyi (although it did take several months to get the patch in initially, I don't think it will be that long this time). >I just wonder out of curiousity, as the port I maintain are using new >autoconf, automake and libtool versions. The bottom line on it is, don't hold your breath. You'll turn blue and pass out. As for libtool, I don't maintain that, but I think I will grab it, but I'd expect any support for a new libtool to be a couple of months off.
