For what it's worth, in GNU make I don't archive this file at all; instead I retrieve it dynamically from the gnulib repository. I do this with a bunch of files, such as po files and other things. This forces people who want to build from Git repos to run a "make update" rule first but it's nice because I don't need to keep up with whatever's the latest upstream. Unless you have a need for some specialized version of texinfo.tex this might be something to consider. git-url = http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit target = $(patsubst get-%,%,$@) gnulib-url = $(git-url)/gnulib.git/plain/build-aux/$(patsubst get-config/%,%,$@) get-config/texinfo.tex: @echo $(WGET) $(gnulib-url) -O $(target) \ && $(WGET) $(gnulib-url) -O $(target).t \ && $(move_if_change)
