Committing regenerated > versions just clutters development history. If you ./configure and friends, history has proven that the autoconf/automake toolset is not stable over time or release schedule. It often has changed in ways that aren't forward or backwards compatible, and without the *exact* version to generate ./configure, one is screwed. That makes regression testing and building new versions on old distros impossible. (For instance, autoconf2.13 and autoconf2.5 and a newer one, could not be substituted at all) If you are suggesting ripping out the entire autoconf infrastructure, I am not opposed: HPUX, Interactive Unix, Xenix and AIX 3 are long dead, and so are the weirdness they brought to the world of the 1990s. But, we still have things like QNX and Cygwin... -- ] Never tell me the odds! | ipv6 mesh networks [ ] Michael Richardson, Sandelman Software Works | network architect [ ] mcr () sandelman ca http://www.sandelman.ca/ | ruby on rails [ _______________________________________________ tcpdump-workers mailing list tcpdump-workers () lists tcpdump org https://lists.sandelman.ca/mailman/listinfo/tcpdump-workers
