<stikonas>fossy: just saw in #tukaani that autoreconf -fi apparently is not guaranteed to regenerated all autotools files
<stikonas>so perhaps another point for vcs snapshots...
<Piraty>it isn't?
<sam_>correct
<Piraty>maybe that's why some have their custom autogen.sh whch is usually an overly verbose way over writing `autoreconf -vfi`
<sam_>see the bottom of https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Serials.html
<sam_>and also:
<Piraty>i refuse to learn any more of autohell tooling that i was forced to in this life, thanks
<sam_> https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2024-03/msg00000.html
<Piraty>but good to know
