Hi Alan,

A draft qpid.spec.in file?
I ran "find qpid/cpp |grep -i spec" and it produced no output.
Where should I be looking?

Just see the doctor, er, docdir :-)

If you put this in Makefile.am

    dist_doc_DATA = FILE

then FILE will be installed in $(docdir), which expands to
${datarootdir}/doc/${PACKAGE_TARNAME}, which is what you want.
FYI, it is common to install README into /usr/share/doc/pkg_name/,
so people often do this in Makefile.am:

    dist_doc_DATA = README

Autoconf's name for that directory is $(sysconfdir)/init.d,
so just install it using that name.

GNU tar can work around that if you create the archive using its
--format=ustar option, which makes it create a POSIX.1-1988-compatible
archive.  ...assuming no doxygen-generated name is longer than the max
of ~256.  If you need longer, use --format=posix, for which there is
no maximum.  But ustar is better, since it's more portable.
