automake/automake-1.16.1-python-version-multiple-digits.patch
Frédéric Bérat 520aa7fdb7 Fix support for python3.1x detection
Backporting 2 patches from upstream.
The first patch enable automake to look for python versions with
multiple digits when auto-detecting the default system python
interpreter version. The second allows automake to properly pick
automake version (up to python 3.15) when it was specified by the user
and yet different from the default system interpreter.

Subject: [PATCH] python: determine Python (3.10) version number correctly.
This change fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/44239
(and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1889732).
* m4/python.m4: use print('%u.%u' % sys.version_info[:2]) for
the version number instead of merely sys.version[:3], so the
numbers are treated as numbers.
* t/python-vars.sh (PYTHON_VERSION): Likewise.
* doc/automake.texi: Document it.
* NEWS: mention it. (Minor tweaks from Karl Berry.)
Conflicts:
- NEWS (Removed)
