Local Packages
New package automake19 (1.9.6)
New package automake110 (1.10.2)
Updated dovecot to 1.2.rc8
I built the automake packages as a reaction to the controversial set of updates to automake 1.11 made for Fedora releases 9, 10, and 11 - in particular the one for Fedora 11 which is already "stable". As a packager, I sometimes need to make patches to autotools files, and the resulting patches to the generated output is always smaller and more understandable if I use the same versions of the tools that the original project used, hence the usefulness of these compatibility packages.
