Hi,
With the release of automake-1.8 ahead, a request for enhancement:
automake-1.8 probably will be incompatible to automake-1.7
Up to now I have encountered 2 incompatiblities:
* The generating info files in $srcdir issue.
* aclocal complaining about underquoting in custom macros.
Therefore the "usual" request that comes up with each major version
change of automake:
Can we have a means to restrict a package to a particular version of
automake or to enforce using a particular version automake?
I don't know how to implement it, but something similar to
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([automake < 1.8])
or
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([automake = 1.7])
come to my mind.
Ralf
