# bentoo carries this ahead of ::gentoo, which is still on 1.18.1.
#
# It is deliberately ADDITIVE, not a replacement:
# * SLOT is 1.19, so it installs beside dev-build/automake:1.18;
# * autotools.eclass is NOT overridden here, so eautoreconf keeps using the
# ::gentoo default (_LATEST_AUTOMAKE=1.18.1:1.18), and am-wrapper.sh only
# scans down from its own LAST_KNOWN_AUTOMAKE_VER=18 before falling back.
# Reach this slot explicitly with WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.19.
#
# Upstream changed release manager: 1.18.1 was the last tarball signed by
# Karl Berry, 1.19 the first signed by Kamila Szewczyk. Hence the key package
# below differs from the one ::gentoo's automake ebuilds use.
# BENTOO-DIVERGENCE: BDEPEND - sec-keys/openpgp-keys-kamilaszewczyk where
# ::gentoo's automake ebuilds use sec-keys/openpgp-keys-karlberry. Not a
# preference: 1.18.1 is the last tarball signed by Karl Berry's key
# 0716748A30D155AD, and 1.19 is signed by Kamila Szewczyk's ed25519 subkey
# D5D527E7E338A682CBADB1C1217FCF7314636C07 instead. Verified 2026-09-10 by
# `gpgv` against both keys: karlberry fails, kamilaszewczyk succeeds, and the
# primary key is in https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-keyring.gpg, which ties it to
# the GNU project rather than to a keyserver upload alone. This row aligns by
# itself once ::gentoo ships 1.19 and switches key packages too.

# checkout, just mkdir .git"), and it is right to. The release tarball
# already ships configure, Makefile.in, aclocal.m4 and doc/automake.info,
