[Mod-security-developers] Making tarballs

[Diego E. P. <fla...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I've noticed that the tarballs for ModSecurity are currently prepared
manually, since they tend to vary a lot one between the other.

For common autotools project, the proper way to build the package is
using "make dist"; this does not currently work on ModSecurity because a
number of files are missing.

I suggest, if you want to proceed on that note, that you start by
listing the header files together with the source files in the _SOURCES
variables (even though _HEADERS exists, that's supposed to be used only
for installed ones, all the others are fine with _SOURCES), and the
documentation files into the doc_DATA variable (which also installs
them, which is good).

The idea is for each file that needs to be shipped to be listed
somewhere in the Makefile.am files.
