I have been trying to update to more recent autotools, and being a traceability nazi, I want to rebuild from as far upstream as possible. That means ignoring the distributed ./configure and Makefile.in and rebuilding them with currently installed autotools.
Here's my problem: Recent automake depends on automake-1.10a, but I can't find that release anywhere. I thought I'd use 1.10b instead, but it too requires 1.10a, so no joy there. Of course 1.10.N are "too old" according to Version.pm, and 1.11.N already require the mysterious 1.10a. I realize there's the bootstrap script, and it actually lets me go much further back into the bootstrap chain, but for now I'm just looking for this 1.10a. I can't find it either on ftp.gnu.org nor or alpha.gnu.org. Unless I'm not looking hard enough! Thanks
