| Hi,
| My general impressions after 1 day of autoconf 2.50 use.
|
| - The backtrace facility is really a nice feature.
Cool :)
| - "config.status much faster on most architectures"
| but configure is slower. Here are the timings of gettext's configure:
|
| autoconf 2.13: 23.0 sec real 14.2 sec user
| autoconf 2.50: 24.5 sec real 14.8 sec user
Hm, I didn't pay attention to this, that's right.
But I can tell you the tests are much better now, so I think it
deserves this difference. Have a look at config.log too. The point
is really to let the maintainer find everything she needs in there.
And BTW, if you lack some information in it, ask for it!
| So you are not following Moore's law that programs should get twice as
| slow every 18 months, in order to compensate the increase in CPU speed
| in the same time :-)
:) :)
Well, that's nothing compared to autoconf itself :( It's sloooooooooooooow!
| - Why is the @host_alias@ Makefile variable not set any more? It is still
| documented.
That's a bug, thanks!
