Hi,

Yesterday, support for automake 1.5 was removed from KDE's admin/ 
directory.

This is meant for 3.2, but since koffice uses the shared admin/ folder, 
it is not currently possible to build any of KDE/KOffice HEAD on 
FreeBSD. This is because we do not have an automake newer than 1.5 in 
the ports tree :(

Now, as a developer, I can hack a 1.7 into my system with no major 
problem, but it does leave me wondering if some special care is needed 
in the cvs versions of KDE/Koffice because of the differing release 
cycles.

Note, I'm not saying that the change is wrong, after all 1.5 is pretty 
old now, and we really do need a newer automake in FreeBSD anyway.

Andy
