I am in the midst of porting Quagga 0.99.20. We need to do the upgrade because of a number of security issues since the last upgrade was done. Unfortunately, I discovered that along about Quagga 0.99.14, the required version of automake was bumped to 1.11 and we currently only have 1.10 in Solaris.

So, it would seem that I have three choices.

Add automake 1.11.1 to Solaris and make it the default version.
Add automake 1.11.1 to Solaris and leave the default version as 1.10.
Make a private copy of automake 1.11.1, use that to build Quagga and then make patches to patch the *.in files instead of patching the *.ac files as it is doing now.

Of course, in either of the first two options, the new version would have to be added to the Userland CBE. I would be worried about the ramifications on all the other packages of the first option and I don't have a lot of time. Also, I would still have to make a private copy until the new packages were added to the build machine since I don't have time to wait for them.

Has anybody run into this before and if so, what did you do? Does anybody have any info about making a private copy of automake?
