- In Automake 1.13.x (once planned, then dropped)
- -----------------------------------------------
- We are already warning about 'configure.in' used as the name for the
- Autoconf input file ('configure.ac' should be used instead); we've
- been doing that since Automake 1.12.4.
- We had scheduled to remove support for it altogether in Automake 1.13
- (and announced that in our NEWS file), because we thought that Autoconf
- too would have started deprecating it by the time our 1.13 release was
- done. Alas, this hasn't been the case: the deprecation code is only
- present in the development version of autoconf so far (scheduled to
- become Autoconf 2.70). So ...
- For Automake 2.0
- ----------------
- ... we have decided to wait until 2.70 is out before really removing
- 'configure.in' support. Since we plan to require Autoconf 2.70 in
- Automake 2.0 (so that we can remove the hacky code emulating
- AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS for older autoconf versions), we are quite sure
- that Autoconf will actually have started deprecating 'configure.in'
- by the time Automake 2.0 is released.
- Note that the removal of 'configure.in' has already been implemented
- in our 'master' branch (from where the 2.0 release will be finally
- cut); see commits 'v1.13-17-gbff57c8' and 'v1.13-21-g7626e63'.
