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.

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.

Use the cosmetic BUILD_VERSION variable (a la libtool), switch portnames away from using the version number twice.

Unbreak automake17, base on work from Rui Lopes <rui@ruilopes.com>

Maxim Sobolev (sobomax) · 1.5,1
Due to popular demant into each port which might be inserted into dependency list by bsd.port.mk insert anti foot-shooting device, which prevents infinite fork loop when the user defines corresponding USE_XXX in global make.conf, command line or environment.

Similar devices should probably be inserted into ports that might be inserted
into dependency list by others bsd.foo.mk files (bsd.ruby.mk, bsd.python.mk
and so on.)

Stage a mini-coup, and borrow these ports from portmgr@ for a while, since I'm doing most of the updating, and am working on a port/Mk/bsd.<gnublah>.mk to move some cruft around.

[Re]Update to version 1.5.

The legacy version is known as 'automake14' for those that find automake 1.5
incompatible.

(portmgr@ hat on)

- Backout recent upgrade because it broke way too many ports;
- assign maintainership to portmgr@FreeBSD.org due to importancy of this port
  to the overall ports infrastructure.

- Do not read a file more than once, where the sameness is judged by   the inode numbers of files.

This should fix the "duplicated macros" error when aclocal is
  invoked with `-I ${X11BASE}/share/aclocal' explicitly.

- Do not scan ${X11BASE}/share/aclocal if it does not exist. (Or it's
  (a symlink to)* a directory)

  This should fix the "no such directory" error when you build a non-X
  port without X installed. (like on bento)

Persuade automake to look not only in ${PREFIX}/share/aclocal (ie: ${LOCALBASE}), but also ${X11BASE}/share/aclocal via an extra patch and some configure-time substitution

Upgrade to 1.3, remove @dirrm share/aclocal on pkg/PLIST, because another package use the directory too (guile)

Masafumi Max NAKANE (max)
Some patches submitted as PR are not suitable to be committed blindly and previous changes to this port was one of them.  This commit fixes:

- We definetely need to check the existence of ${PREFIX}/dir and generate
  it if needed before install-info gets invoked.
- Use empty definition of STRIP instead of changing every appearance
  of ${INSTALL_SCRIPT} in Makefile.in to ${INSTALL} especially since
  this port installs no files that need to be stripped.
- No need to add rule to regenerate .info file when there's one in the
  distributed Makefile.in.
- Instead of removing old piece of .info files in post-install target,
  leave it to the .texi.info: rule in the distributed Makefile.
