[openFATE 306197] Ship multiple automake versions.
Feature added by: Luis Medinas (lmedinas) Feature #306197, revision 1, last change by Title: Ship multiple automake versions. openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Luis Medinas (lmedinas) Description: In order to build gnome from svn (probably other projects need it too) we need automake-1.4 1.7 1.8 and 1.9. It would be good if we deliver an option to work with update-alternatives to choose the automake version. This should really be integrated in the base system. This is a goal for 11.2 from the GNOME team, having gnome svn build without building from source this dependencies. Usually this tools are used by Gnome developers. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306197
