Hi Eric, In this change,
http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commitdiff;h=33c8286ea93bec94c46 you increased the minimum version of automake from 2.52 to 2.60. Since libvirt is starting to use gnulib, and has a pretty hard requirement that it work with autoconf-2.59, I need to know why you chose 2.60. Nothing I saw in email or commit logs even mentioned that part. I propose to reduce it to 2.59, if at all possible. here's the obvious patch: Subject: [PATCH] Let these macros work also with autoconf-2.59. * m4/getline.m4: Require only autoconf-2.59, not yet 2.60. * m4/getdelim.m4: Likewise.
