I studiously avoid the autotools; in our Makefile we ended up doing
something like what follows (extra newlines added for clarity):
dist: distclean
@echo "CHECK pristine, fully recorded tree"
darcs what -s | perl -n -e 'if (!/^No changes!/) { print "\nFailed: you
can only run make dist from a\npristene tree or one with all changes
recorded\n\n" ; exit 1 }'
@echo "PREP files for distribution"
darcs dist --dist-name xseq-$(VERSION) >/dev/null
mv xseq-$(VERSION).tar.gz /tmp
cd /tmp && tar xzf xseq-$(VERSION).tar.gz
cd /tmp/xseq-$(VERSION) && rm -r stash && chmod +x configure
@echo "TAR distribution tarball"
tar czf xseq-$(VERSION).tar.gz -C /tmp xseq-$(VERSION)
@echo "RM temporary files"
rm -r /tmp/xseq-$(VERSION)*
Using darcs dist helps pick up only significant files and avoids cruft,
but there are still some aspects of the recorded tree that we don't want
to distribute (the stash/ directory, for example) and of course there is
the executable permissions nonsense. (Why, oh why, can't darcs get this
straight?).
This fragment runs in a Makefile where VERSION is defined (extracted
from a source file by configure, actually) and where MAKEFLAGS=-s is
standard, making for nice clean output.
