RE: [gentoo-user] emerge system = many automakes

2005-03-28 Thread Dave Nebinger 
 Why does emerge system want to install 6 different automake versions
 in different slots and 2 different autoconf versions?

They are slotted.  Different packages need different versions of
auto{make,conf} to build properly.

They don't take up that much space and ensure the system builds properly, so
don't worry about them.

Don't look behind the curtain, there's nothing to see here.  ;-)
