Comment(by nbruin):
Perhaps a little more minimalist approach. If {{{maxima.texi}}} is the
only file that gets touched, that file is present already anyway. So you
may be able to get away with "mv"-ing the original file out of the way,
"configure" and "mv" the original file back if the one created by
configure has the same content. The nice thing is that "mv" should not
change the timestamp:
so spkg-install becomes something like:
{{{
...
mv doc/info/maxima.texi doc/info/maxima.texi.orig
./configure --prefix="$SAGE_LOCAL" --enable-ecl
check_error "Failed to configure Maxima."
cmp -s doc/info/maxima.texi doc/info/maxima.texi.orig && mv
doc/info/maxima.texi.orig doc/info/maxima.texi
}}}
If you want you could raise an error or warning instead when the two files
do not agree.
An advantage of this approach is that you're not anything that voids
manufacturer's warranty. A disadvantage could be that it doesn't work, as
I haven't tested it.
