So, if it's possible to do so, perhaps we should have a post-commit/post-push hook on bpf.tcpdump.org that will run autoreconf any time configure.in or aclocal.m4 is changed and commit the result. That way, what's on bpf.tcpdump.org will be generated by the autoconf version on bpf.tcpdump.org, so we control the version of autoconf used to generate what goes into the tarball *and* what's used by people who check out from git (as long as they don't change configure.in or aclocal.m4, but there's not that much we can do to help people who do change them other than pointing them at the GNU project repository for autoconf). _______________________________________________ tcpdump-workers mailing list tcpdump-workers@lists.tcpdump.org https://lists.sandelman.ca/mailman/listinfo/tcpdump-workers
