While I like the idea of rebuilding everything from scratch, adding Makefile rules to do so is horrible. Automake bungles this miserably and it produces all sorts of random unnecessary bugs. With my upstream hat on, I will *always* use AM_MAINTAINER_MODE. I'm happy to explicitly call autogen during the build process, but I will not use that misfeature. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
