Update the bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=472048#c11 The automake maintainers received a patch ages ago: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2007-09/msg00007.html After that I've got the FSF's copyright assignment papers sent, and I've sent them back. No progress since then. Ciao, Mathias -- Mathias Hasselmann <mathias hasselmann gmx de> Openismus GmbH: http://www.openismus.com/ Personal Site: http://taschenorakel.de/
