Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-06-14 16:40:03 UTC 
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.

P.S.: also 1.1.10-makefile.
Comment 1 Daniel Black (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-06-20 14:19:09 UTC 
fixed 1.1.10 version. previous 1.1.0 autoconf had far too many other errors.

Stablisation request for 1.1.10 is in bug #228543

i'll close this once i purge 1.1.0
Comment 2 Daniel Black (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-06-22 22:06:06 UTC
