Subject: [alpine-aports] [PATCH] main/autoconf2.13: remove package

From: Sören Tempel <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 7 Oct 2015 15:07:21 +0200

The package was created because main/xulrunner needed it, main/xulrunner
doesn't exist anymore and I couldn't find any packages that depends on
this one so I suggest its removal.

autoconf is useful to stay in Alpine even if it's not used by other
Alpine packages.
We use it to configure custom source.

'autoconf2.13' is old and obsolete version. We still have 'autoconf'
package that is newer version 2.69. I think the old version was needed
until some packages updated their configure.ac as there was some
incompatible changes around 2.13 time.

Are you saying you need to old version still? Or are you good with the
new version?

negative.
i misread the original commit message as "autoconf", not "autoconf2.13".
sorry for the noise. i have no need for the older autoconf2.13.
