It sounds like a good plan. Do packages still require automake-1.4,
though?
I'd like to get rid of 1.4 too, but it is being used by a fair number of
modules currently (more so than those requesting 1.6). I did a very non
scientific test for this after doing a jhbuild build of the Gnome
desktop modules:
for pkg in `jhbuild list meta-gnome-desktop`; do
if [ -f $pkg/Makefile ] && head -1 $pkg/Makefile | grep -qF
'automake 1.4'; then
echo $pkg;
fi;
done
It listed the following packages:
libIDL, gconf, libart_lgpl, startup-notification, gtk-engines,
gnome-desktop, gnome-session, libgtop, metacity, libcroco, eel,
nautilus, gnome-control-center, gtkhtml2, yelp, bug-buddy, libgnomecups,
eog, ggv, gconf-editor, procman, gnome-netstatus, nautilus-cd-burner,
libgail-gnome, gnome-mag, gnopernicus
So there is still a fair number of modules using automake 1.4. It would
be nice to get those modules switched over, but I suspect that it will
be non-trivial in many cases. While some of the modules can probably be
built from CVS with a newer automake, you really need to check whether
"make distcheck" passes before making the change.
Maybe this is something we should look at after the 2.8 release.
James.
