Hi,
I CVSup's my system (FreeBSD 4.9-p2 #0) early this morning and found
the following in /usr/ports/CHANGES:
20040803:
AUTHOR: ade at FreeBSD.org
As part of the ongoing autotools cleanup, devel/autoconf has been
replaced with devel/autoconf253, and devel/automake with devel/automake15.
Consumers of the various autotools knobs from bsd.autotools.mk should not
notice any differences. This update completes the transition of autotools
to true versioned packages (cf: tcl/tk)
I just updated my watchlist in FreshPorts and it indicates that
autoconf253 is
deprecated and should be replaced with /devel/autoconf259. Similarly,
automake15 should be replaced with devel/automake18. Is FreshPorts more
current? If so, will the following correctly upgrade my system:
portupgrade -rfo /devel/automake automake
portupgrade -rfo /devel/autoconf autoconf
Thanks for your assistance.
