Please add autoconf-2.65 as a dependency. Other it just fails with following in aclocal.out configure.ac:1: error: Autoconf version 2.65 or higher is required configure.ac:1: the top level autom4te-2.63: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 63 aclocal-1.11: autom4te failed with exit status: 63 Reproducible: Always
I suspect next ebuild versions also need fixing.
Fixed, thanks for reporting. FYI, autoconf-2.65 was marked stable for all architectures over 19 months ago. Most ebuilds in portage (with the exception of a small number of core system packages) do not receive any testing with anything older than the latest stable versions of their dependencies. As a result, if you use long-outdated packages like autoconf-2.63, you are unfortunately rather likely to encounter bugs such as this one. > 18 Jan 2012; Alexandre Rostovtsev <tetromino@gentoo.org> > glib-networking-2.30.1-r1.ebuild, glib-networking-2.30.2.ebuild: > eautoreconf requires >=autoconf-2.65 (bug #398993, thanks to MageSlayer for > reporting).
Yeap. I am pretty old-fashioned :) Thanks for FYI. That's perfectly fine with me.
