Hi Ralf, One possibility: set up a cron job on savannah that periodically fetches the latest autoconf sources, builds, and then commits the generated INSTALL into a new project containing just this sort of auto-generated file. For just one file, it's not worth it. But there are others, e.g., find's regexprops.texi. Jim
