> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1692
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build System
> Reporter: Wendall Cada
> Assignee: Noah Slater
> Fix For: 1.3
>
>
> The current build system for 1.3.0 requires autoconf 2.68 or greater. This is
> acceptable for very recent linux distributions, but the requirement makes
> building on Centos 6/Amazon Linux/RHEL 6 impossible without patching
> configure.ac to support autoconf 2.63
