Description William Ting 2012-05-01 20:00:29 UTC 
Recently my system has upgraded automake to 1.12-1. However, this breaks the build process for JHBuild because gnome/glib-networking/autogen.sh is hardcoded to only use automake 1.10.x and 1.11.x.

Is there a reason why it's hardcoded to use specific versions of automake rather than 1.10+?

I forgot to rebase my branch before creating a patch. This is a cleaned up version of the previous patch, but otherwise identical.

Hey. Thanks for the bug report and the patch. glib-networking's
autogen.sh script originally came from glib, so rather than using your
patch, I just copied glib's current (much simplified) version over.
Comment 4 William Ting 2012-05-11 23:46:03 UTC 
Thanks for the update. I merely copy and pasted the code from a previous section of autogen.sh, and modified it to work with automake.
