FWIW, I got the same problem and I agree with Vin's

autoload cookie). I'm inclined to think that if a simple
"cvs update ; make install" doesn't work, then something is broken in the
package installation. I find it abnormal that you have to 'make distclean' for
things to work properly.
Agreed, *both* of those should work. "cvs update -dAP" might
occasionally be needed if you've used sticky tags or dates or
something. BTW, I just committed Vin's autoload patch (though I find it
scary that it was required in the first place).
Also, I'm wondering why you have to compile all the
packages all the
time, even those you don't want to install.
Why do you have to compile all of them? Isn't the set of the packages
you want and their REQUIRES enough? (OTOH, the REQUIRES should probably
be recursive...) Do you have ideas how to improve the situation?
This is boring, especially when those packages don't compile ;-)
Yup, but I don't think that happens too often nowadays.
