# Prefer earlier versions just so that the earliest supported version gets test coverage by developers.
attaching revised patch 'add-support-for-automake-1.12-v2.diff':
- test first for automake-1.11 as before, and test for automake-1.12 after that.
Summary: Testing for automake-1.10 causes configure failure on OS X if the build environment used for Inkscape does have automake-1.11 or newer installed and the system (<= 10.6.8) or Xcode (4.1, 4.2) provides automake-1.10. The revised patch keeps testing for lowest version which doesn't trigger this failure on OS X first (automake-1.11), and inserts test for automake-1.12 after that (but before the test for automake-1.10).
