> In OpenBSD, the user is able to install several versions of the autotools side-by-side. However, the user must choose a dedicated version and cannot choose the use 'just' the latest version. Years ago, commit [76888b5|https://github.com/asterisk/asterisk/commit/76888b59903e8a83bdbc68bc809b7ade43fe817e#diff-3af436e6760a0c5f1e3d16a3384853a8] chose autoconf 2.63 although
> * 2.69 is the latest version and
> * 2.60a is the minimum requirement.
> To allow different, newer versions of autoconf without editing the script {{./bootstrap.sh}}, Stuart Henderson created a patch for the official port in OpenBSD. That patch is attached. With that change, a user can go for:{code}pkg_add autoconf%2.69 automake%1.15 metaauto
> AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.69 AUTOMAKE_VERSION=1.15 ./bootstrap.sh{code}
