File COPYING is modified during build, still it is tracked by svn

That means that after svn checkout, typing svn diff produces quite a lot of output.

[pavelmachek.livejournal.com]

Running autogen.sh is required for this to happen.

Messages from failed autogen.sh are:

On strace, I can see "someone" executing cp

[pid 22484] stat64("COPYING.LIB", 0x81700c0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

and that someone is apparently automake:

[pid 21640] clone(Process 22484 attached

It looks like automake 1.7.9 has this problem while automake 1.10.1 is okay...

[pavelmachek.livejournal.com]

Actually... I guess the proper solution is removing --force option from autoreconf... because --force says all files from svn are "obsolete" and automake 1.7.9 treats COPYING as one of its files.

Patch to do that is attached.
