So you are part of the problem! I mean a tarball that is generated once and not change, rather than something which changes depending on what software is installed on the cluster node. See ports@ messages ad nauseum. > Also autolulz are slow and ugly, please use plain Makefile for C > projects. They're even slower and uglier if you have to run the m4 stuff to *generate* them before you can even run them, and may not work as intended if they're run through a version of autoconf which they weren't designed for.
