Re: texinfo-5.9.91 pretest available

[Karl Berry]

Hi Norbert -- I don't know if automake-1.15 is a hard requirement, but
that's what we all use and that's what I would strongly suggest if
you're going to patch Makefile.in.  After all, it is trivial to install
(in its own directory so it doesn't interfere with anything else).

I confess I'm not much interested in researching requirements for old
versions -- I've "required" the latest released versions of all
infrastructure stuff for texinfo (for people modifying infrastructure
files) ever since I started maintaining it, and don't want to change.

Anyway, what is this patch?  Can we apply something so you don't have to?

I was a bit surprised that aclocal is being run if you only patched
Makefile.in, since that is autoconf, not automake.  But I guess that's
what aclocal does.

Sorry,
Karl
