Major Description
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 Namely, it will sometimes think the configure script is out of date with respect to its source files and try to re-bootstrap, which relies on particular versions of autotools on the building computer.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.
