That's good to hear. So you exercised the whole automake/autoconf/libtool chain? If so, then how did you put together your -src package for libx*? (I ask merely because I'm curious: if you re-auto* a given source package, then there are LOTS of changes and your diff is very big. Alternatively, you can make minimum changes to high-level files like configure.in and Makefile.am -- resulting in a small diff -- and have your build script re-bootstrap during the 'prep' phase...but that complicates the 'mkpatch' phase. This latter approach is a real PITA -- but it's the only way to reliably generate a small patch that can be submitted to the upstream maintainers. NOT that they would accept such a patch if it's generated by a non-regulation libtool or when they're not ready to move "up" to the most recent autoconf/automake...sigh) --Chuck
