Ah, ok.
The latest version will always be the default; mediator-version internally
is parsed as a pkg.version.Version() object so comparison rules follow
whatever rules we use for pkg.version.
So it should correctly identify 1.11> 1.10,> 1.9.
Right. I meant I wasn't sure whether we were making a decision that 1.11
was preferred to 1.10 or 1.9, since I'm not enough of an automake guy to
know or care.
*Argh*; sorry about that.
My general experience has been that any version of automake works. If
it doesn't, it's because there's some broken build process that checks
the output of 'automake --version' or just blindly assumes that
/usr/bin/automake-$VERX exists. But those are the exception.
I would add that these fixes are nice from another point as well; most
Linux distributions deliver a simple /usr/bin/automake link, so I'll
finally be able to stop patching things to reference our latest
version-specific binary just to build.
