Comment (by ncohen):
> You forgot another important change to packages: either add an autotools
build system or re-autotoolize after making some changes.
In this case, the 'diff' comparison is indeed useless, for different
versions of the autotool scripts produce different outputs. If the
autotoolizing is done by upstream, however, that's no problem.
Let us talk about solutions instead of just raising the problems: how do
we address that?
I did not plan to have this script be anything else than a helper tool to
review packages. On the other hand, we must have a way to check the sanity
of the packages.
Of the packages which are autotoolized by our 'spkg-src' scripts, I would
not be at all surprised to find out that they are like this because... its
authors are Sage developpers.
