Probably won't matter. A few packages actually specify an exact version |
| 17 |
of the autotools, but most just want a certain minimum version. If you |
| 18 |
try to install such a package in the future it 'should' re-emerge the |
| 19 |
required version of autoconf automatically. It might matter more if you |
| 20 |
want to install custom software independent of the portage system. |
