The main reason for doing this was that autoconf-2.53 was appearing in spec files and this breaks of course everytime the Autoconf version is up'ed. So the thinking is: use "/usr/bin/autoconf" for the moving newer version and "/usr/bin/autoconf-2.13" for the old static one. I did put the idea forward upstream about adding API versioning to Autoconf like Automake has had since 1.6, but there was no response unfortunately. :-| It's anyway really too late to make such a change for the coming release now, but I guess there is nothing to stop you from making the symlink yourself. :) > BTW, automake in Phoebe *does* seem to have the kind of > suffixes I want, so it's just autoconf that's missing it > currently. Yep, because it comes from upstream - since Automake 1.6 there has been API versioning in Automake.
