Thank you for pointing this out.  I have submitted a patch for Asterisk 13, 15 and master so in future versions of Asterisk (13.19.0+ and 15.2.0+) you will not need to run ./bootstrap.sh to build/install the open source Opus codec.

Hello all,

autoconf is required to run ./bootstrap.sh after changing configure.ac or
*.m4 in any folder of the Asterisk source tree (including menuselect and
third-party folders).  Currently we require 2.60, I'm working on a patch
that will require 2.64.  Note autoconf is not required to run './configure',
it is only needed to run ./bootstrap.sh.

Does anyone work on these files from a distribution which cannot install
autoconf-2.69?  Although the changes I'm working on only require autoconf
2.64 I see no reason to hold back at this point. Version 2.69 is from 2012
and is the latest version.  As far as I know CentOS 6 is the only major
currently supported distribution which has autoconf < 2.64, all others
provide 2.69.  Requiring 2.69 would be one less thing to worry about when
working on configure scripts, especially since I don't have access to test
any lower version.
We discussed this on IRC a bit yesterday, but to echo my response - I
myself work on a distribution that has at least version 2.69 of
autoconf so it shouldn't be a big deal.  I believe that re-running
bootstrap.sh should be so infrequent (only when we need to add things
to detect new libraries or do system related checks) that I don't have
a huge problem with bumping up the required version on it.  Since
generation of the configure script could be done on a more modern
system as a workaround I think it shouldn't be a big deal.

Anybody have opposing thoughts?

I'm using the open source Opus codec from
https://github.com/traud/asterisk-opus: it requires running
bootstrap.sh, so that would be a problem for my customers on CentOS-6.

Everything that breaks CentOS-6 seems bad to me.


Thanks,
