Can someone more familiar with libtool comment on this?
With GNU software, the INSTALL file is typically boilerplate information on how to invoke the ./configure script. Not sure if there's a way around that. We should distribute the other files you mentioned, but only in a tarball, not in SVN. That should be handled automatically in 'make dist'. It is annoying that the autoconf/autotools authors do not provide a list of generated files, though. -- - Charles Lepple _______________________________________________ Nut-upsdev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsdev
