With the rule being: "all files in a directory are included in the tarball." Getting the tarball contents correct is always a bit of a pain and checking its correctness is completely manual. So, having a simple rule to check against helps. We should think of having a directory where we put scripts and things to support development work. That directory would of course not be included in the tarball. change-copyright-year and perhaps others would go there. Florian |
