Mainly because for people checking the package before sponsoring it, because these make it hard to see the real changes in amongst all the changes to auto-generated files. The sponsor can obviously sort out that stuff with the sponsee before uploading. > Note that bootstrapping autotoolage at build-time is an official QA > nightmare [1] and if Dante would put > > 1. Don't believe me, look at Sam Hocevar's QA meeting talk slides: > http://sam.zoy.org/lectures/20050910-debian/img16.html Yes, this is what EmfoxZhou was doing before, running autogen.sh in the configure-stamp target of debian/rules. My suggestion did not change that. In this case, the upstream source does not ship with a configure or Makefile.in files, so the autogen.sh needs to be run at some point. Upstream should probably be told to use make dist. -- bye, pabs http://pabs.zip.to
