A common timestamp issue is introduced when developers check in generated content such as configure, Makefile.in, Makefile, config.h.in, etc. CVS seems to alter timestamps on some files in an order that conflicts with automake and autoconf. Checking in generated content should be avoided where possible. The only reason I've heard for people to put generated content into CVS is for downstream developers; If the downstream doesn't have all the same auto* tools installed, make a drop with "make dist" instead. I'm not saying that this is your problem or the sole issue; I'm saying this to confirm that you're not walking into pain and suffering. Others here may (will?) disagree. Allan
