Description of problem: It isn't really a bug, I only noticed, that gtk2 uses automake 1.7 instead of 1.9 since latest Rawhide rebuild. I can't see a reason for this change, because rebuilding with the latest automake 1.9 works very well... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gtk2-2.4.7-3 Actual results / Expected results: Automake 1.9 again for the next rebuild ;-)
I anything, this has to happen upstream.
What do you mean? Why is that "upstream"? Why can't you use automake 1.9 for rebuilding GTK2 instead of 1.7 - is there a problem with 1.9 that I can't see?!
There is no point in deviating from the upstream build setup. The only thing you gain is extra work. Building gtk2 with automake-1.7 works fine, why change it ?
