Hello, We now have 5 versions of automake in the archive. These are necessary because new versions of automake tend to break backwards compatibility. We don't however need to keep all these versions around forever. So I'd like to get automake1.6 removed from the archive. The packages below have strict build-dependencies on automake1.6. It tends to be a bad idea to build-depend on the auto* tools (if for the only reason I'll be bugging you about it periodically), but if you want to continue, please transition to using automake1.7 or later (automake1.9 being the best). For most of you that should just work with no changes, if you have problems let me know.
In a couple of weeks anyone who hasn't done this will get a wishlist bug filed against their package. A couple of weeks after that I will ask for the removal of automake1.6 and those bugs will be upgraded to severity serious. PS I would love if we could get rid of automake1.4. That's a bit unrealistic at this point, but if everyone can gently encourage their upstreams (and themselves) to start using later versions of automake, maybe it will be possible one day. amarok, Adeodato Simo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> amaya, Steve Dunham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> boson-base, Mickael Marchand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> droidbattles, Kari Pahula <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> epplets, Stephen Frost <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> facturalux, Juan Manuel Garcia Molina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> fam, Chuan-kai Lin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> freqtweak, Enrique Robledo Arnuncio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> gsmlib, automake1.6 isdnutils, Paul Slootman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> k3d, David Martinez Moreno <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> kcdlabel, Stephen Gran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> kde-i18n, Noel Kothe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ksimus-boolean, Aurelien Jarno <[EMAIL PROTECTED] ksimus-datarecorder, Aurelien Jarno <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ksimus-floatingpoint, Aurelien Jarno <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ksociograma, Juan Manuel Garcia Molina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> lesstif1-1, Sam Hocevar (Debian packages) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> libiodbc2, Christian Hammers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> libnss-ldap, Stephen Frost <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> libosip, Anand Kumria <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> libosip2, ARAKI Yasuhiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> libtheora, Christopher L Cheney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> libwmf, Matej Vela <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> lineak-defaultplugin, Aurelien Jarno <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> lineak-kdeplugins, Aurelien Jarno <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> lineak-xosdplugin, Aurelien Jarno <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> multisync, Mikael Sennerholm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> rsplib, Anibal Monsalve Salazar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> snort, Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> splint, Samuele Giovanni Tonon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sppc, Mikael Hedin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sweep, Anand Kumria <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> swscanner, Andres Seco Hernandez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> tapiir, Enrique Robledo Arnuncio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wmfsm, Arthur Korn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> xbsql, Rafal Lewczuk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- Eric Dorland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ICQ: #61138586, Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1024D/16D970C6 097C 4861 9934 27A0 8E1C 2B0A 61E9 8ECF 16D9 70C6 -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d- s++: a-- C+++ UL+++ P++ L++ E++ W++ N+ o K- w+ O?
