<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We needed some fixes in automake-1.15, so the upgrade was not arbitrary.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Having said that, that only introduces a dependency for developers. Users who download the tarball shouldn't need automake (or any of the autotools).</div>

<div>Hi,<br>
</div>
I just noticed that the following commit on 2015-02-09:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://git.mpich.org/mpich.git/commit/8ac6607db3a087cc8986d8124cab2b0930ae31ae">http://git.mpich.org/mpich.git/commit/8ac6607db3a087cc8986d8124cab2b0930ae31ae</a><br>
<br>
adds automake >= 1.15 requirement in autogen.sh<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Is this fix really necessary for general platforms or is it platform specific ?<br>
<br>
</div>
Does it not seem a bit too drastic to force a dependency on a core package released on 2015-01-05 (a month before or so) just to get a fix which is not mpich dependent ?<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Thank you in avance !<br>
</div>
Best regards<br>
<br>
