If the .pot files are deleted as part of this check it makes sense that the newly generated .pot files would have different time stamps. The .pdf files appear identical when viewed in a PDF reader. They are also exactly the same size: $ /bin/ls -l ../in_source_dist_contents/texinfo-7.1.90/doc/refcard/txirefcard-a4.pdf texinfo-7.1.90/doc/refcard/txirefcard-a4.pdf -rw-rw-r-- 1 g g 103268 Aug 10 15:48 ../in_source_dist_contents/texinfo-7.1.90/doc/refcard/txirefcard-a4.pdf -rw-rw-r-- 1 g g 103268 Aug 10 15:50 texinfo-7.1.90/doc/refcard/txirefcard-a4.pdf - and the differences are either timestamps or an "ID" which I assume is insignificant: $ diff -a ../in_source_dist_contents/texinfo-7.1.90/doc/refcard/txirefcard-a4.pdf texinfo-7.1.90/doc/refcard/txirefcard-a4.pdf 928,929c928,929 < <rdf:Description rdf:about="" xmlns:xmp='http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/'><xmp:ModifyDate>2024-08-10T15:48:32+01:00</xmp:ModifyDate> < <xmp:CreateDate>2024-08-10T15:48:32+01:00</xmp:CreateDate> --- > <rdf:Description rdf:about="" > xmlns:xmp='http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/'><xmp:ModifyDate>2024-08-10T15:50:39+01:00</xmp:ModifyDate> > <xmp:CreateDate>2024-08-10T15:50:39+01:00</xmp:CreateDate> 931c931 < <rdf:Description rdf:about="" xmlns:xapMM='http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/mm/' xapMM:DocumentID='uuid:29c9d475-8f44-11fa-0000-dfc73c7a0220'/> --- > <rdf:Description rdf:about="" xmlns:xapMM='http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/mm/' > xapMM:DocumentID='uuid:757c7df6-8f44-11fa-0000-dfc73c7a0220'/> 942,943c942,943 < /CreationDate(D:20240810154832+01'00') < /ModDate(D:20240810154832+01'00') --- > /CreationDate(D:20240810155039+01'00') > /ModDate(D:20240810155039+01'00') 1029c1029 < /ID [<F4AA9A9C7B9A55D0BB76EDADAA6CA3DF><F4AA9A9C7B9A55D0BB76EDADAA6CA3DF>] --- > /ID [<CA2C369A4638B2632BC613B46994D776><CA2C369A4638B2632BC613B46994D776>] When I ran the commands you listed in an earlier email, there were several other differences reported in "build_in_out_source_differences.diff": diff -u -r ../in_source_dist_contents/texinfo-7.1.90/tp/Texinfo/Commands.pm texinfo-7.1.90/tp/Texinfo/Commands.pm --- ../in_source_dist_contents/texinfo-7.1.90/tp/Texinfo/Commands.pm 2024-08-10 15:48:05.000000000 +0100 +++ texinfo-7.1.90/tp/Texinfo/Commands.pm 2024-08-10 15:50:09.000000000 +0100 @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -# Automatically generated from ./maintain/regenerate_commands_perl_info.pl +# Automatically generated from ../../tp/maintain/regenerate_commands_perl_info.pl package Texinfo::Commands; I think this difference is fine.
