now that users can depclean versions, people are finding broken packages here's some notes for you devs ... use autotools.eclass and set the WANT variables and the eclass should take care of DEPEND for you need autoconf-2.13 (oh god why) ? then do this: WANT_AUTOCONF=2.1 inherit autotools how about automake-1.7 ? then do this: WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.7 WANT_AUTOCONF=2.1 inherit autotools dont care what version, you just want the latest ? then do this: WANT_AUTOMAKE=latest WANT_AUTOCONF=latest inherit autotools the autotools eclass will mung "latest" into the correct values -mike
