Bug 1487508

Wow, very nice work! Once the help2man is built inside infrastructure I assume we can remove it from this module.

I will also close review request of my autotools submission since this one is much better.

One more thing: how do you name the initial stream? I tried to ask here at Flock and no one was really able to provide a good suggestion. The thing is that automake and autoconf have distinct release schedule is it's impossible to figure out a stream name which would match upstream version.

The only thing I was able to figure out was to name the stream as a date (e.g. date of the stream creation request).

Since there are only two packages meant to be in the module, it could be also possible to do a stream name which would match both versions.

(fedrepo-req-admin):  The Pagure repository was created at https://src.fedoraproject.org/modules/autotools

That was one of the reasons I originally submitted separate modules for each of the tools.

We can can put both versions into the stream (2.69+1.15). At the end the stream is an human-oriented string. Nothing that needs to be parsable for machines (like a time stamp). The stream should identify ABI compatibility. That's why I propose "2.69+1.15" and not "2.69+1.15.1" because automake-1.15.1 is supposed to be compatible with automake-1.15.

For comparison, this is how Gentoo distribution versions automake:

The left-most column is the package version, the "slot" column is the package ABI. In the output you can see that I have installed automake-1.11.6-r1 that provides "1.11" ABI and I also have installed automake-1.15-r2 that provides "1.15" ABI.

I believe modularity streams should provide similar look and feel.

But this is only my humble opinion. I requested branch "master" because last time I talked to contyk he said we should use "master" only until things get clearer.

Your proposal with "2.69+1.15" makes sense to me.

If the maintenance is hard, we can always put the packages into separate modules and deprecate this module.

Thank you for the review and the repository.
