Description Nitin Kamble 2012-06-13 23:42:46 UTC 
I have various fixes related to upgrade of automake 1.12  here.

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/log/?h=nitin/automake-1.12


Bunch of these have reached poky master branch. And some of these commits are still pending to go in. And there are still some recipes failing to build with automake 1.12.

And meanwhile automake 1.12.1 has been released. I think more recipes will work with automake 1.12.1 than automake 1.12. 

So the task here is :
1. rebase nitin/automake-1.12 branch from poky-contrib to the latest master
2. Then upgrade automake recipe to 1.12.1
3. Then test builds of core-images-sato-sdk & world on all target architectures
4. and fix any broken recipes
5. Once all the needed recipes are happy with automake 1.12.1, then automake 1.12.1 recipe can replace automake 1.11.3 recipe in the poky master
