Hello, I have inherited Martin Liška's buildbot script that checks that all sorts of autotools generated files, mainly configure scripts, were re-generated correctly when appropriate. While the checks are hopefully useful, they report issues surprisingly often and reporting them feels especially unproductive.
Could such checks be added to our server side push hooks so that commits introducing these breakages would get refused automatically. While the check might be a bit expensive, it only needs to be run on files touching the generated files and/or the files these are generated from. Alternatively, Maxim, you seem to have an infrastructure that is capable of sending email. Would you consider adding the check to your buildbot instance and report issues automatically? The level of totally false-positives should be low (I thought zero but see https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2023-November/635358.html). Thanks for any ideas which can lead to a mostly automated process. Martin
