Re: [Vala] Vala support for automake

[Yu Feng <rainwoodman gmail com>]

Dear Jurg,

I have two questions:

If a VALA package depends on the features provided in the patch, will
the distributed tarball(make dist) be compilable on a system with a
unpatched automake?

Is VALA itself going to make use of the features once the they are
accepted in the automake upstream? If so, when? 
There might be problems, since some distributions doesn't updated their
automakes timely. (eg RHEL5 didn't even update automake to 1.10.x)

Regards,

Yu
