I believe a big part of the problem is file modification times. When you do the commit on your system, after running the autotools, then all the file modification times make sense and make works as it should. Unfortunately, CVS doesn't properly maintain modification times when you check out the source tree, so other users don't get the same view of the source tree as you have on your end, as far as mod times are concerned. The weekly snapshots have the same problem, as the snapshot script just does a cvs check-out of the source and archives it, without fixing the mod times. For final releases, Geoff has a script that's supposed to set everything right, but for some reason he doesn't use this script for the snapshots (too much load on the sf.net server, perhaps?), so this doesn't help us in the meantime. I also don't know if this fixup script will need to be changed to adapt to the recent changes to the autotools setup in 3.2. Geoff, can you please comment on this? This seems to be shaping up to be a big showstopper, and we could really use the benefit of your wisdom. -- Gilles R.
