sdesc: "development version of a tool for generating GNU-compliant Makefiles"
ldesc: "This is Automake, a Makefile generator.  It was inspired
by the 4.4BSD make and include files, but aims to be portable and
to conform to the GNU standards for Makefile variables and targets.

This package also includes the "aclocal" program.  aclocal is a
program to generate an `aclocal.m4' based on the contents of
`configure.in'.  It is useful as an extensible, maintainable mechanism
for augmenting autoconf.  It is intended that other package authors
will write m4 macros which can be automatically used by aclocal.

Automake-devel contains automake-1.9.x, and is meant to be installed
alongside automake-stable (which contains automake-1.4-p6) and alongside
the 'automake' package, which contains wrapper scripts which call the
appropriate 'real' automake, stable or devel, based on target package
heuristics."
