Purge WANT_{LIBTOOL,AUTOCONF,AUTOMAKE}_RUN
The versioned autotools are now strictly for building other ports in the tree.
Likewise, the gnu- autotools are for runtime dependencies for IDEs, and others,
where unmodified cross-platform capabilities are desired.cbcdcfb3d4All that we see or seem, is but a dream, within a dream. Take back maintainership. I'll be scouring the PR database shortly, if I miss any, or someone beats me to it, please feel free to reassign appropriately.c94d76f525

Assist getting more ports working on AMD64 by obeying the Ports Collection documentation and use 'ARCH' rather than 'MACHINE_ARCH'.f2fc2d60ae
Relinquish maintainership. I no longer have the time, energy, or interest to look after these things any more. To whomever picks these up, I salute you. I'll reset the relevant PRs to ports-bugs in a couple of weeks if no-one has taken over maintainership. Farewell, autotool hell.2255dacd66

Long-overdue cosmetic cleanups.a33f86462b
Move devel/autoconf->devel/autoconf253 and devel/automake->devel/automake15 All autotools ports are now truly versioned and do not conflict with each other. This marks the end of "Phase 1" of the autotools updates.e32a824579
Actually put in relevant symlinks to the versioned files in ${PREFIX}/bin to non-versioned files in ${PREFIX}/libexec/<autotool><ver> so that the PATH magic in bsd.autotools.mk works correctly.1324d86f0eFix for auto-creation of an auxiliary directory when using the base version of perl in 4.x Whilst the package list isn't affected, PORTREVISION has been bumped to warn 4.x users -- those on 5.x don't necessarily have to update.

Add SIZE to distinfo's Prompted by: trevor7b53eea81c
Set some DEPRECATED and EXPIRATION_DATE knobs to indicate overall intention of the autotools project to remove all but the latest versions of libtool, autoconf, and automake, by 31st December 2004. Note that autoconf259 and automake18 aren't yet accessible through the relevant USE_* knobs, but will be as soon as bsd.autotools.mk comes into existence.e69cb40145
Say hello to autoconf 2.59 and automake 1.8(.3) after repo-copy. It's likely to be a really bad idea to use these until they're hooked into the new bsd.autotools.mkeb6f3e503b

starting work on actual port; this commit removes files from a previous version3a0e8c9f67
Correct ports that were abusing the FORBIDDEN variable and replace with either IGNORE or BROKEN. Since there seems to be some confusion, for the record: BROKEN is reserved for ports that don't work. This will prevent users from installing the port, but please note that ports marked as BROKEN will still be built by bento IGNORE is reserved for ports that should not be built for one reason or another (including bento). Users and bento will not build ports marked as IGNORE. FORBIDDEN is reserved for security breakages only!!! Only mark a port as FORBIDDEN if there is a security issue with the port at the time.

PORTNAME => autoconf254. It's still BORKED, BROKEN, & FORBIDDEN, as well as being a biohazard and classified as a chemical weapon - it has been used to sterilize frogs at up to 300 metres.0b51a46c05

1. Fixed bug in autoscan. Thanks to Joe Marcus Clarke <marcus@marcuscom.com> who worked with me and beyond to track this down. 2. Support the emacs autoconf/autotest modes now, for both emacs21 and xemacs21. Other (x)emacsen may work, depends on where they put things.ab2da640e4
