guile-cvs on Debian/unstable

guile-cvs on Debian/unstable

[Jan Nieuwenhuizen]

It seems that Guile won't accept automake-1.7; and automake 1.6a is
not detected on Debian GNU/Linux.

Below the patch I used.  I must be missing something, is none of you
running Debian?

Greetings,
Jan.

	* autogen.sh: Accept automake-1.6a, for Debian unstable.
	
	* guile-aclocal.sh: Likewise for aclocal-1.6a.

I am, but I haven't built guile-1.6 since I upgraded to the latest
auto* tools -- actually I'm not even sure I have upgraded as far as
you indicate above.  However I did put a fix into CVS HEAD for to
allow newer versions of autoconf the other day.  I have to backport
that to 1.6.

I'll see about your patch unless someone else gets to it sooner.  I
think perhaps we should switch our checking in autogen to be disallow
known bad versions (i.e. autoconf < 2.5), rather than only allowing
known good versions.  Otherwise we're going to get complaints all the
time as newer versions of the tools are released.
