Sure, but having to run autogen.sh on a project that's just been checked = out of version control is also very common in the free software world, and our a= ctual source tarballs do contain pre-built autoconf scripts. The problem with = a self-replacing configure script is that, as you mentioned, it'd be hard t= o tell bzr to version the placeholder script, but ignore the generated one; solv= ing this problem by using a nonstandard name for the generated `configure' s= cript would be surprising. I think our current approach is fine. --------------enigCAF50BF27F67A13B66A79621 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAk4vIIQACgkQ17c2LVA10VtmRQCgwzawRiyu4eHotONFgPW1R2JV YDEAniz6G4shmG/MQlX67l/mmJGRTvrr =+gPv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigCAF50BF27F67A13B66A79621--
