Re-reading that, now I remember. And remembering, now I revisit my previous suggestion: Why not just check config.rpath in and be done with this whole mess? And raster deserves a kick in the teeth for causing the mess by removing it in the first place. Bad raster. No beer. > We are already far from basic unix utils + m4 as autotools require > perl. Adding cvs is just another drop in the ocean. CVS, in my opinion, is inherently non-local. "Local CVS" is called RCS. But I can think of worse ways to distribute and extract versioned sources. That said, the fact that they HAVE to do such a thing speaks to the complete and utter fiasco that is gettext. > I don't think this is true, please correct me if I'm > wrong. autopoint will copy in ABOUT-NLS which contains information > about the gettext package, including licensensing, but it does not > sneak in anything or otherwise impose licensing that isn't already > implied by using gettext in the first place. It does some sneaky stuff, but I seriously doubt it would have any legal validity given its clear and blatant sneakitude. > Downgrading say automake-1.10 to automake-1.9.6 is in my opinion not > an option as non-e packages may require 1.10. > > Or is the message that if I'm too stupid to figure it all out by > myself I should go play elsewhere?

It may not be convenient advice, but it's not bad advice either. In any event, many distros already have ways of having multiple versions of the tools installed at once due to the exceedingly long history of this kind of nonsense from the autoFUCK Powers That Be.
