Package: wnpp Severity: normal This package is going to require some work from someone who is already familiar with Autoconf. A major new release (2.70) has come out following more than 8 years of upstream development without one. Whoever adopts it will have to figure out whether it makes sense to package 2.70 under the name "autoconf" (and create a compatibility package for 2.69, as was done previously with autoconf2.13), to instead package 2.70 as "autoconf2.70", or to do something else. I do not have the motivation and the time to commit to this myself. I hope that someone out there does!
This package is pretty important to developers: popularity-contest (https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=autoconf) shows it installed on over 55,000 machines. This package has several bugs. I expect that the 2.70 release fixes a number of them (and introduces more).
