Description:   Opened: 2007-07-27 12:34 0000 
The ftgl ebuild requires WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.4. Unfortunately to mee this is the
only current package needing it.

Is there any reason behind this strict dependency? I've tried changing it to
"latest" and it compiled fine. I've searched the bugzilla, no reports
whatsoever regarding automake versions. Searched the tarball, no specific
version requirement apart from the outdated syntax.

So can this requirement be removed/lessened? Thanks.

So what? That's not a bug. And yeah, it's not there for fun, it fails on
eautoreconf with anything else (the last release is from 2004).

Not true, I've unmerged automake-1.4_p6 and it still compiles properly, as I
said:
