This check would fail many packages that can still be built twice in a row (any package that runs autotools during the build process without doing a complicated dance to preserve the upstream-shipped files, for example), and it's not clear to me that there's a consensus that those packages are really broken. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
