If you keep generated files in your version control system, then yes, I'd do that. But only then. I would generally recommend against this strategy (there are arguments for and against it, see 'info Automake CVS'; the fact that config.* are not generated does not alter the line of thought much here). > Or can I update the automake copies of the files Yes, that is a good idea... > so that all my autotools projects will take advantage of them when I > do autoreconf -i? ...not quite, that won't install files over already-present ones. You need to use the --force argument for it to do so. Cheers, Ralf
