Today we reviewed your hints and had a close look to the result of

Maybe my question was too imprecise.
It is possible to put the in-files into subdirectories e.g.
project/rules/somedir/test.in!
But in this example the corresponding makefile in
project/rules/somedir/test.make is not recognized by ptxdist.
It seems to me, that ptxdist only scans project/rules but not any
subdirs for makefiles.
Right, and this is by design.
Why do you want to use a sub directory? The strategy is usually to put
any project-local .in and .make files into rules/. Any file put there
should be generic enough to be used in any config/platform to be used
with the project, so I cannot imagine a good reason for splitting up
into sub directories.

The only reason is that I want to share the .in and .make files using
subversion, by checking out a common rules-folder as external into the
project. Changes to this external are visible to all colleagues
immediately, the external can be sticked to a version, switched to
trunk, tag, branch or whatever one need.
My solution is to check out the common_rules beside the projects
rules-folder and copy the common_rules content, using lndir, into the
rules-folder. That meets all requirements, I only have to update the
symbolic links after an update from subversion.
Thanks and Regards,
Gavin
