You might be looking for autoconf/automake (although it's a bit rusty, and quite a few people loathe it, it's one working current standard we have). Autoconf and automake manuals will probably tell you a lot about these things. Basically you make Makefile.am and configure.ac files, which will let you do make dist to create your .tar.gz distribution, which is in turn used as upstream source tarball for every distribution. regards, junichi -- [EMAIL PROTECTED],netfort.gr.jp} Debian Project -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
