Description:

Newly released automake 1.13 is not supported by /usr/bin/gnome-autogen.sh simply because automake versions are hardcoded in it, without version 1.13 . This[1] upstream bug report provides a patch that solves the issue (patch attached in here). Without it, all gnome git packages that call 'gnome-autogen.sh' will fail to find lastet version of automake, as you can see from the attached log file.

Things like this need to go upstream...

Yep, agree with you. Actually, as I already mentioned, it is in upstream's but tracker already. However, while a new source tarball is not available, some AUR packages will break and users will be like crazy asking flagging out-of-date. (that's not developer's problem, but, hey, help me :)

I double this bug, and add that the same problem occurs with aclocal-1.13: gnome-autogen.sh doesnt check over 1.12. For my notify-osd-customizable pkgbuild on AUR, I suggested a user to create two symlinks of these executables.
