I don't see any changes between r103843, when cron commited regenerated configure etc, and r103849, that would necessitate regenerating again. That's why I assumed you specifically wanted 2.68. But of course in principle there can be a delay of up to 24hrs in regenerating. I can increase the cron frequency if people both cannot wait that long and cannot install autoconf. > Well, for one thing, we'll avoid unnecessary churning due only > to Autoconf version skew. :-) Not necessarily, since there is no guarantee that anyone who does a manual update will use 2.68.
