Re: how do distribute automake free code?

[Harlan Stenn]

If auto*-generated files are being checked in to a repo, you may be 
seeing a problem where the timestamps of those files are not kept in 
"relational" order when you check out a copy from the repo. 
 
I think your choices are to either live with it (just like the way Eric 
wrote) or run a script after checkout that "touches" the 
generated files in the correct order so that the dependency order is 
maintained. 
 
If you want an example of this, check out a tarball of NTP and look at 
the top-level "bootstrap" script.  Be advised that NTP's need and use 
for this is probably quite a bit more involved that what you might
need.
