The WANT_AUTO* stuff in there is useless as it never gets exported. 1. emerge -C =automake-1.10 2. replace WANT_AUTOMAKE=latest w/ WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.9 in the eclass 2. emerge some ebuild that inherits the eclass and watch it bomb out... <snip> Running aclocal... am-wrapper: /usr/bin/aclocal-1.10 is missing or not executable. </snip> WANT_AUTOMAKE=latest is also not the best choice here, eterm, eclair, e_modules (and bunch of others pretty likely) fails w/ automake-1.10.
enlightenment.eclass is fine i'll work diego to fix autotools.eclass
Well yeah, the autotools.eclass solution is less that ideal... Anyway, could you do something like this? [[ -z ${WANT_AUTOCONF} ]] && WANT_AUTOCONF="latest" [[ -z ${WANT_AUTOMAKE} ]] && WANT_AUTOMAKE="latest" Can't override it in ebuilds otherwise w/o messing w/ the eclass, which sucks. Will be needed even after the autotools.eclass gets tweaked to handle this better.
