Installing multiple versions of Autoconf

Hi!

I'm trying to install some package which requires some other version of autoconf other than 6*. Is there a way to install it from pacman?

Thx in advance!

You could play with ABS. Change the version number in the PKGBUILD and then

makepkg && pacman -Af autoconf-XX-YY.pkg.tar.gz

I won't guarantee that above procedure doesn't f*ck up your system. I guess there's a reason for having base files upgraded to the latest available in the repositories..
