No, because they are not needed for the bootstrapping itself. We build stuff from scratch for it, I needed them to rebuild the configure scripts on GCC, which I don't need to rebuild anymore (GCC's codebase includes the configure scripts prebuilt). That's where I realized. >> The problem I wanted to make us notice is we were keeping the 2.64 >> version and we didn't really provide any compatible automake, so the >> autoconf@2.64 was almost useless. > > I'm not very familiar with Autoconf and Automake (nor with > bootstrapping): is there a "compatibility table" around? I quickly had > a look to the respective manuals but I was not able to find one. I don't know either. I tried to use the 2.64 one and that told me the Automake wasn't compatible. >> If no package uses those, it's ok to remove.

Not providing it is a better option. I don't need it for bootstrapping recipes, and if I need it in the future I'll remake the package. If Autoconf 2.64 is not needed by any package my proposal is to remove it from Guix and let the people interested on it to `time-machine`, as that's going to probably have the correct automake with it. > Thanks for your work! Gio' Thank you!
