Following up to your May 25 message <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2006-05/msg00127.html> re Debian bug 219621, I was thinking of incorporating the proposed fix into Autoconf before the 2.61 release, but ran into a couple of problems:
Using the timestamp as a version number is a bit of a hack. Perhaps it'd be better to use the Autoconf version number, i.e., the first line of $version in bin/autom4te.in. Second and more trivially, I'd feel a bit more comfortable matching the entire first line of the cache file, rather than looking for a space, followed by the version number, followed by any single character, at the end of the first line. I hope these changes would be OK with you. But at any rate this should wait until after 2.61 is out, since my ideas haven't been tested. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
