This is the right thing to do. A couple of improvements: * A more technical explanation in the commit text. I like to refer to the AM_MAINTAINER mode as a "CVS timestamp losssage workaround". The full background can be found here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2003-02/msg00036.html * The autogen.sh file must be changed to remove the --enable-maintainer-mode parameter which belongs to AM_MAINTAINER_MODE. Otherwise you get: configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-maintainer-mode In essence we are removing configuration code which was put in place as a work around to a CVS behaviour which caused the downloaded tar file content to always be out-of-date and rebuilt. This workaround is no longer required, if it ever has been.
