Description Benny Pedersen 2017-08-29 13:05:17 UTC 
i list no specific version of autoconf since depending on specific version hide the depricated problem

will add more info from gentoo when i have it
Comment 1 Benny Pedersen 2017-11-07 04:45:10 UTC 
https://bugs.gentoo.org/426262

sorry late add, i think we could follow it there, note check automake versions is needed, so more then just mv configure.in configure.ac

Benny, can you specify what you are trying to fix?  What problem you are seeing? 

On a 7.5 centos, I was able to run autoconf, autoheader and make spamc without any perceptible problem.
Comment 3 Benny Pedersen 2018-08-24 01:34:13 UTC 
follow the gentoo bugzilla, no need to tell again here, autoconf <= 2.13 is not giving warning on deprication for configure.in, new versions gives warning if not using configure.ac

so hope configure.in is not in trunk anymore, that solves it
Comment 4 Kevin A. McGrail 2018-08-24 02:20:12 UTC 
What real world problem occurs and how do I replicate it?
Comment 5 Benny Pedersen 2018-08-24 02:35:07 UTC 
simple install gentoo

at the time i created this bug it was a bug atleast in gentoo, the link to bugzilla shows what gentoo devs did to resolve it

if thats not helpfull or even resolved i give up
Comment 6 Kevin A. McGrail 2018-08-24 12:41:08 UTC 
Very funny, Benny.  That thread is quite long.  If you can give a synopsis of the problem, basic steps how to recreate it and pointers on a fix, that would be helpful.

Why should this be fixed?
What is the impact?
What is the priority?

For now, I'll target it for 4.0.0 but would appreciate more guidance.
Comment 7 Benny Pedersen 2020-01-30 11:28:31 UTC 
2020 and its not solved yet
Comment 8 Kevin A. McGrail 2020-01-30 13:54:43 UTC 
Please provide a patch for the issue.  If that isn't possible, a synopsis of the problem, basic steps how to recreate it and pointers on a fix, that would be helpful.

Why should this be fixed?
What is the impact?
What is the priority?

I'll move this to future because without that basic information, I can't target this for a specific release.
Comment 9 Benny Pedersen 2020-01-30 16:54:46 UTC 
basic info is in gentoo bug, i cant veerify whats is solved in 3.4.3 or 3.4.4 for this autoconf stuff for now, i can just write here that gentoo ignore reqirements on MakeMaker in makefile.pl

so if autoconf is in this dependice its solved on gentoo, but still autoconf versions minimal is the problem i started reporting on where .in is in new versions changed to .ac

i like to close now if its not a problem anymore
