Vesa said already on IRC to me that it's fine for me to but he suggests waiting vor Okuji or Marco which I wanted to do anyway (at least with the 2.61 requirement) Now 2.59 shouldn't be any problem at all but yeah just in case :) > By the way, config.h.in is a generated file, so changes to it don't need > to be published. The same applies to configure and *.mk files. Yep Autoheader generates it, I just wanted to show the difference with the newer `AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS' in case someone is interested :) I saw it now even in the docs it's only supported with autoconf >= 2.60 and because I just don't know enough if it would be safe for us to just start using it I downgraded autoconf to 2.61 for `autupdate'. It would be better if we use for the SVN ./configure only one autoconf version. I just noticed that with current SVN and a ./autogen.sh with autoconf 2.62 creates the config.h.in in my 2.62 patch, which is the only difference. So this means that AC_GNU_SOURCE will be in the future just an alias to it. A little thing we maybe shouldn't forget totally :) But for now this is really too early to change configure.ac to it. -- Felix Zielcke
