For GNU projects, the 'gnu' flavor still makes sense, even if it could use a little modernization such as easier automation of generating ChangeLog from version control. And while these days, automake is probably used by more non-gnu projects (where 'foreign' may make more sense) than GNU projects, that's still not a good reason to toggle the default. I like what the GNU Coding Standards represent, and deviating from them deserves a mention in configure.ac to make it apparent that you thought about it. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
