[Clfs-dev] Automake and Texinfo

[William Harrington]

Greetings,

We are almost at release and we've been delaying automake and texinfo.

Is it best to wait till future release before updating these. At this  
point in time, if upgrading those requires extra patches or additional  
commands, and the current versions work fine for future versions of  
other packages, we may want to delay the update.

input is greatly appreciated.

We are at Automake 1.12.4 and current is 1.14 (issues arose when  
automake was at 1.13)

We are at Texinfo 4.13 and current is 5.1 (some issues arose with the  
5.x release)

If anyone desires, they can give a list of packages which have issues  
when using hosts and when using temp tools and building for the final  
system when using Texinfo 5.1 and Automake 1.14. That would give a  
better view of what the current situation is with those two packages  
and our current build system.

Sincerely,

William Harrington
