Noah Slater commented on COUCHDB-23:
------------------------------------
I just had to check Makefile.am and configure.ac again to make sure I wasn't
missing anything. This ticket describes the situation where running make checks
to see at what revision ./bootstrap was run, and prompt the user to re-run
./bootstrap if the current revision is more recent, before bailing. Same for
./configure as well. As far as I can see, we never implemented this. It's a
handy check for people who are building from source. If anything changes that
is used as input to ./bootstrap or ./configure then the user should be notified
that they need to go back to the beginning of the process to make sure the
generated files are up to date.
