Note that a recent discussion of this is relevent. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200306/msg00533.html > If not I would revert my changes and will go back to just patching the > brocken upstream Makefiles. Personally I would include touch commands to bring the timestamps after the diff patch is applied into relative conformance with the timestamps of the files for when the patch was made and remove the build depends on automake. Although the previous discussion made good arguments both directions. I believe either of the methods are good as long as you champion the process to completion. Bob
