I recently made changes to altoptions.m4 and a new configure script did not get checked in my the cron job. configure depends on these files: $(TOPSRCDIR)/configure.in $(TOPSRCDIR)/aclocal.m4 $(TOPSRCDIR)/build/autoconf/gtk.m4 $(TOPSRCDIR)/build/autoconf/altoptions.m4 $(TOPSRCDIR)/build/autoconf/libIDL.m4

Already fixed. Now it just rebuilds configure and checks that it is different, so changes to dependencies will get picked up automatically.

Cool, I just was not patient enough. Does the whole tree get checked out by the cron job?

The whole tree? You mean build/autoconf, right? If so, yes. So, we should only have problems if another .m4 file gets added to $(TOPSRCDIR) and no one tells me.

Right, checking out build/autoconf should be good enough.
