(Crossposting to -core and -dev to make sure everyone sees this; this is |

fairly important.) |

A lot of ebuilds are using the new WANT_AUTO{CONF,MAKE}= syntax to |
5 |
select a desired version of autoconf (as opposed to the deprecated |
6 |
WANT_AUTO{CONF,MAKE}_1_?=1 syntax). For autoconf, these ebuilds must |
7 |
have a DEPEND for >=sys-devel/autoconf-2.58. For automake, they must |
8 |
have a DEPEND for >=sys-devel/automake-1.7.2. Older versions do not |
9 |
support the old-style syntax, and since 1.4 stage3s have older versions, |
10 |
merging these packages after a new install without a full update will |
11 |
cause them to fail. |

Daniel has been making an effort to fix offending ebuilds with this |
14 |
problem, but everyone really needs to check over their ebuilds. This is |
15 |
very widespread. |
