Package: automake Version: 1:1.10.1-3 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/aclocal-1.10
Currently the only way to add extra directories for aclocal to search in
seems to be to list them in /usr/share/aclocal/dirlist. I find this is
really quite unacceptable and I would like the following dirs, files and
environment variables to do this:
/etc/aclocal/aclocal.conf - for aclocal itself to list its default
dir(s)
/etc/aclocal/aclocal.conf.d/*.conf - for packages providing .m4 files to
list their default dirs
/etc/aclocal/aclocal/*.m4 - place for the sysadmin to drop in .m4
files
~/.aclocal.conf - for per-user system m4 file directories
~/.aclocal/*.m4 - default per-user system m4 file directory
$ACLOCAL_PATH - override the aclocal system paths,
ending in : adds instead of overrides like MANPATH does
The configuration files could have stuff like this to manipulate the
dirs if the config format is simply perl:
push (@system_includes, '/usr/share/autoconf-archive/');
Alternatively a config file format with = and += or something would work.
Please forward this upstream if automake 1.11 does not yet fix it.
