New submission from Antonio Cavallo <a.cavallo at cavallinux.eu>:
Hi,
I've seen the code change in /python/trunk/configure.in (rev. 74072):
it enforces a specific autoconfig version (2.61) in order to build
python.
Unfortunately OpenSuSE 11.1 (mainstream at time of writing) has an
updated version of autoconf 2.63 (and I think is true for Mandriva as
well).
Wouldn't be better to force the 2.61 being the minimal version for
autoconf allowing more up-to-date versions to be used?
You can have a look into http://pyvm.sourceforge.net/ where continuous
build of the python interpreter are stored for further references.
