Autotools in SCL
================

Repository provides various versions of autotools for all supported Fedora
distributions, Fedora Rawhide, and all supported EPEL versions (so particular
package from this repository may expect EPEL repository enabled).

All tools are distributed like Software Collections -- therefore they
do not collide with your installed system packages.  One of the key points
here is that you can run the same version of the tool e.g. both on RHEL5
or Fedora Rawhide.


There are currently packaged two collections:

*    **autotools-latest** -- contains latest released (stable) versions of
     autoconf, automake, libtool, and m4
*    **autotools-git** -- bleeding edge development versions of autoconf,
     automake and libtool build directly from git repositories from time to
     time (m4 from git is not packaged yet).

**Known Bugs**:

*    **EPEL5** -- there is a problem with repodata (Red Hat Bug #1088840), as a
     workaround please install python-hashlib on el5 distribution before
     you try to install any package from these repositories.
