Description Ondrej Dubaj 2021-03-19 10:18:34 UTC
Spec URL: https://odubaj.fedorapeople.org/autoconf2.69.spec
SRPM URL: https://odubaj.fedorapeople.org/autoconf2.69-2.69-37.fc35.src.rpm
Description: 
GNU's Autoconf is a tool for configuring source code and Makefiles.
Using Autoconf, programmers can create portable and configurable
packages, since the person building the package is allowed to
specify various configuration options.

You should install Autoconf2.69 if you are developing older software
and would like to create shell scripts that configure your source code
packages.

Please note, this package is older version of official autoconf package,
which was created due to compatibility reasons, as the newest version of
autoconf is not ABI compatible with the older one.

Changes make sense to me, LGTM from my point of view. Only one note is there some discussion about parallel installation of both packages?
