for people who work with projects that require specific versions of autoconf |
2 |
and nothing else (like ==2.64), i've long left older versions in the tree so |
3 |
people could downgrade on the fly. this isn't so bad as you can do: |
4 |
emerge -bk ~autoconf-2.64 |
5 |
<use it> |
6 |
emerge -bk autoconf |
7 |
|
8 |
but i'm super lazy, so even this manual step is annoying. as such, i've added |
9 |
USE=multislot support to autoconf (just like it is with binutils & gcc). |
10 |
|
11 |
now you can install multiple versions in parallel and run: |
12 |
WANT_AUTOCONF=2.64 autoconf |
13 |
or more specifically: |
14 |
autoconf-2.64 |
15 |
without affecting the default `autoconf`. |
16 |
|
17 |
the default is, of course, unchanged. |
