old tex files in repository

[Mojca M. <moj...@gm...>]

Dear list,

When I try to build gnuplot, the following two files are modified:

# modified:   share/LaTeX/gnuplot-lua-tikz.sty
# modified:   src/version.c

The second one only has a trivial change:

 const char gnuplot_patchlevel[] = "0";
-const char gnuplot_date[] = "August 2011";
+const char gnuplot_date[] = "2011-09-09 ";
 const char gnuplot_copyright[] = "Copyright (C) 1986-1993, 1998,
2004, 2007-2011";

but the first one seems to be completely outdated:

Should gnuplot-lua-tikz.sty be removed from CVS (if it is
auto-generated)? Or at least: can somebody please make sure that the
latest version will be in repository?

I also noticed that pdffigures.tex is rebuilt automagically:

Why is pdffigures.tex included in CVS if it is built during "make pdf" anyway?


I would really really really like to have ./configure script in CVS
repository, but the main reason against that was that this is a
generated file. Still, it would help many users without (or with old
version of) autotools to be able to build gnuplot. On the other hand
these files (pdffigures, gnuplot-lua-tikz.sty, ...) are rebuild
without my intervention and my version control tools constantly
complain that these files have been changed. I need to be very careful
not to commit the changes.

Thank you,
    Mojca
