[jira] Created: (HADOOP-6171) "package" task in build.xml should copy source with preservelastmodified

"package" task in build.xml should copy source with preservelastmodified
------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-6171
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6171
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: build
            Reporter: Todd Lipcon


In the package task, it copies the source to dist.dir without using preservelastmodified=true. This can cause issues with the autotools configure process for the C++ builds. Namely, it will sometimes think the configure script is out of date with respect to its source files and try to re-bootstrap, which relies on particular versions of autotools on the building computer. This isn't something that should be required for those wanting to build from a distribution tarball.
