Note that my set of patches doesn't yet offer any public API for
the addition of new distribution format; but the new form of the
codebase should at least make that very easy to add (it's mostly
a matter of changing the name of few so far internal-only
variables, and adding the proper documentation).
What I would expect is that the developer can include a makefile
fragment which adds a target expressed in a well-documented way, and
likely by cloning/modifying an already-working target. This target is
then brought in by being referenced.
For example, my project also wants to be able to produce 'srpm'
format as well as a '7z' format.
That could be a nice test bed for the API, if you want to become
an early Automake-NG adopter ;-)
While I can see GraphicsMagick moving to Automake-NG, it could only do
that in a fork (in Mercurial or maybe git mirror) until Automake-NG is
stable and properly released.
