OK, I poked around in the imagemagick source and found a little
piece of code that was doing something similar. I've reworked it to read
from a MANIFEST file:
dist-hook:
(sed -e "s,^,Net-BitTorrent-LibBTT/," -e "s,\s.*$$,," < \
Net-BitTorrent-LibBTT/MANIFEST) | \
cpio -pdum $(distdir)
Is this portable (enough)? I'm thinking of turning it into a general
automake macro so you can just do something like:
dist_MANIFESTS = foo/MANIFEST bar/MANIFEST
Cheers,
Tyler
