I'm on Ubuntu, not dos. It's source code control, (perforce, cvs,
subversion), that has a different idea of how time stamps should be handled
than automake does. It tends to think that the last mod time of a file
should be the time the file was last checked out. And on a unix system, that
makes perfect sense and is completely fitting the the semantic of the last
mod stamp of the file system.
Mostly my bad experience has been with CVS. Everyone will tell you
that the solution is to never check any generated file into the
version control system. This requires some enforcement of tool
versions among developers and all developers must have the tools if
they modify any build related files.
I would go stark raving made if automake did not automatically update
the files in the source directory since I never build anything in the
source directory. But I do use the maintainer-mode macro so that
users of my package experience minimal grief.
