Hello,
We add a large number of files to our distribution tarball through EXTRA_DIST. I know that directories can be listed in EXTRA_DIST, but this can be sloppy and even cause problems. Even if we use a dist-hook to clean things up, we really would prefer not to go that route in case new files are added that shouldn't be distributed. Some of our developers find it especially painful to list individual files. Is there any way that we can add all files with a certain suffix to the list of files that are included in our distribution by default, or even include files that match some pattern? The specific issue we are looking at right now is how we can add a large number of documentation files to the tarball without listing each file. Thanks in advance! Jim
