Hi,

I'm trying to update alienarena to 7.51 [1] and I'm having some issues building on openSUSE 11.2 (and SLE 11) This version requires autoconf>= 2.65. openSUSE:11.2/standard has 2.63. devel:tools:building/openSUSE_11.2 has 2.65 and 2.68. After some Googling [2] I've done a "osc meta proj -e" and added devel:tools:building/openSUSE_11.2 for openSUSE_11.2 and it builds OK, but is this the proper way of solving this?

-- bob Since you are only using autoconf to build the package and it's not going to be submitted anywhere that the version of autoconf isn't available, it shouldn't be a problem. I've done this before with scons.

Yes, that is the way for packages that need newer versions than available in the default repositories. Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
