Subject: bug#17258: autogen.sh doesn't update stale autoconf files in build-aux
Date: Sun, 13 Apr 2014 22:45:15 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <534B75EB.9090005@cs.ucla.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87fvlhio6b.fsf@Rainer.invalid>
In trunk bzr 116975 I changed autogen.sh to use autoreconf's -f option,
which should fix the bug. -f won't hurt in the typical case when
autogen.sh is being invoked in freshly checked-out sources, and might
help in cases where autoreconf itself has been upgraded.
GNU make should do this automatically when things go well, but there are
a lot of reasons timestamps can be messed up in a source tree and
autogen.sh should try to be helpful when recovering from such problems.
