The patch in summary is touching both Makefile.in and Makefile.am, probably to avoid autotools rebuild. This treatment is usually reserved for a few selected system packages that cannot have their autotool scripts rebuilt. This _could_ cause maintainermode-driven rebuild (see http://blog.flameeyes.eu/articles/2008/06/13/maintaner-mode ), which is something we should be avoiding as much as possible. Please just patch Makefile.am and/or configure.in/.ac and rebuild autotools, unless you have very good reasons not to.
Yes, I was touching Makefile.am precisely to avoid the re-running of autotools during make. I did not want to re-run autotools, either during make or from the ebuild, because it would fail. The configure.ac was written for autoconf 2.13, but several macros it used no longer supported autoconf 2.13, so either I needed to patch up configure.ac, which was something I didn't know how to do, or I needed to make nvi depend on outdated system packages to get the old versions of the macros. I picked

I picked the current way as the least evil. nvi 1.81.6 no longer needs the patch, so I think there's nothing that really _needs_ fixing here, but if you prefer, I don't have any objections to seeing that stabilised and the old version removed. What would you like?
Sorry for the bugspam, I'm not entirely used to konqueror's access keys. Too easy to click Commit just by typing. :)
Marking the new one stable and getting rid of the patch seems the perfect solution to me ;)
Alrighty then. Arch teams, would you please test and stabilise app-editors/nvi-1.81.6, so that the older versions can be removed?
Stable on alpha.
