Modernize autotools configuration

New requirements:
    autoconf >= 2.63
    automake >= 1.11.1
    libtool >= 2.2.6
    intltool >= 0.40.0
    gtk-doc >= 1.11
Comment 2 Christian Persch 2010-03-19 20:09:00 UTC 
Which features of autoconf and automake are you using that necessitate the minimum version bump? E.g. if it works with am 1.9, why not keep that ?
Comment 3 Javier Jardón (IRC: jjardon) 2010-03-22 00:18:52 UTC 
autoconf 2.63 is quite old now (09-Sep-2008) (see http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/). I'd like to use 2.64 but this version is still not included in jhbuild.

automake 1.11.1 fix a security issue present in the make dist and make distcheck rules of all packages using Automake (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2009-12/msg00012.html)

Also, note that gnome-disk-utility depends on very recent version of other patckages (udisks, GTK+, Glib) so I don't see a problem here.
Comment 4 David Zeuthen (not reading bugmail) 2012-11-12 21:38:03 UTC 
As of gnome-disk-utility 3.4 everything was rewritten to use udisks2 and GDBus.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
However, you are using a version that is too old and not supported anymore. GNOME developers are no longer working on that version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes for the version that you use.

By upgrading to a newer version of GNOME you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of GNOME.
Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of GNOME.
