summary:

Stable version of the automatic configure script builder

description:

Autoconf is an extensible package of m4 macros that produce shell scripts to automatically configure software source code packages. These scripts can adapt the packages to many kinds of UNIX-like systems without manual user intervention. Autoconf creates a configuration script for a package from a template file that lists the operating system features that the package can use, in the form of m4 macro calls.

Autoconf2.1 contains autoconf-2.13, and is meant to be installed alongside autoconf2.5 (which contains autoconf-2.5x) and alongside the 'autoconf' package, which contains wrapper scripts which call the appropriate 'real' autoconf, stable or devel, based on target package heuristics.
