Hello,
In the past few months, I worked on a tool that massively rebuild packages
that depend on a specific other package, in order to help spot problems as
early as possible (on Fedora and RHEL so far).
I used this tool to check whether a new version of autoconf could lead to
build failures in o
uild with the work around, and try to figure out
the other errors.

Thanks, I'll update the bug I opened for them.

There are about 70 softwares (in Fedora ecosystem at least) which are

It will be hard for one person to track the upstream for each of them

I'll probably create issues at the package level on our side, so that

srmio, ruby and apr.
On top of that at least one package is affected by

The others are either quotation issues, or misplaced 'fi'.

Hello,
This one is rather unfortunate. I've seen a similar problem on multiple
packages, including make 4.4 (though not 4.4.1, so at least we can "simply"
update).
For now I also noticed rcs (5.10.1), gzip (1.12), ImageMagick (1:7.1.1.4)
with similar failures.
About 50% of the Fedora packages tha
Hello,
Regarding EGREP, although I agree in principle this can be solved by using
AS_CASE, I'd argue that the component actually required AC_PROG_EGREP. In
principle, that should be enough, and requesting the user to know that
internally there may be some need for "_AC_PROG_EGREP_TRADITIONAL" that
That's close enough, yes. You actually don't need the "else" though, it's
enough to isolate the first call to egrep:
% cat >configure.ac <<'EOF'
AC_INIT([test], [0])
AC_PROG_CPP
AC_PROG_EGREP
# uncomment to make this work on new autoconf
# m4_ifdef([_AC_PROG_EGREP_TRADITIONAL], [_AC_
Hi,
I'm done walking through the Fedora rebuilds, I get the following failures
due to largefile.m4 which breaks with autoconf:
ImageMagick 1:7.1.1.4
emacs 1:28.2
grub2 2.06
gzip 1.12
libidn 1.41
libloc 0.9.16
make 4.4
parted 3.5
pspp 1.6.2
rcs 5.10.1
Indirectly: 'fatresize' (1.1.0) has a bug in
