I feel your pain, I do ... but seriously? 2.59? That was released in December ... of 2003. That's 90 years old in Internet time. And like Lyndon said, it only affects people who compile from the git repo. Okay, I'm one of those people so I'm not in love with the idea of creating more pain for myself, much less others ... but it seems like it's time. There is actually some new stuff in automake, at least, that I am interested in taking advantage of. Ok, I'm not particularly itching to upgrade right now, but since Lyndon is forcing the issue I can't really come up with any good reasons to say no. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
