Whenever I seem to relibtool a package now I always seem to get problems
with the timestamps being wrong, and the package tries to re-run automake.
Anyway, as a solution for that - we decided that the command
lsdiff --strip 1 debian/patches/10_update_libtool.diff | xargs touch -r
configure.in.in
would work.
However I've just stumbled across a package where this doesnt work.
Does anyone know enough about automake (I dont) to stop it trying to run on
a package build ? I'm getting errors like
WARNING: `automake-1.9' is missing on your system. You should only need it if
you modified `Makefile.am', `acinclude.m4' or `configure.in'.
You might want to install the `Automake' and `Perl' packages.
Grab them from any GNU archive site.
and I dont think a "touch *" in the rules is an elegant way to do it :D
