Thanks for the report. I agree that a URL with ? should be allowable as a bug reporting string. For 2.67, we only fixed AC_INIT for the first two arguments (package-name and version). But your example is a good reason why the bug-report argument (and AC_PACKAGE_BUGREPORT) should likewise be relatively permissive in allowed characters, while equally documenting that you must not expand AC_PACKAGE_BUGREPORT outside of a quoted context (since ? is a glob character and you do not want to trigger inadvertent file name expansion). I'll work on a patch, although it may be a few days (I've got some other things that are taking my priority at the moment). -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
