Hello,
We're currently shipping several quite old automake/autoconf packages just to keep
a few other old packages building. I'd like to drop the following packages:
autoconf213 (8 years since the last upstream maintenance)
automake14 (5 years since the last upstream maintenance)
automake15 (6 years since the last upstream maintenance)
automake16 (5 years since the last upstream maintenance)
Packages with build dependencies on those packages:
in Core:
autoconf213:
esc
pam_smb
tetex
vnc
automake14:
libwmf
automake15:
nss_db
automake16:
gmp
krbafs
in Extras:
autoconf213:
glib
gtk+
automake14:
gdk-pixbuf
glib
gtk+
imlib
WindowMaker
automake16:
aplus-fsf
qalculate-kde
Maintainers are encouraged to switch to more recent releases of the autoconf tools
and work with upstream to get this done. They also should make sure if it is really
necessary to run p.e. automake at all.
