Automake determines if a file should be distributed based on Makefile.am and some special rules (such as configure). It is difficult for us to use, because we have arch-specific makefiles (this might be feasible if I make genmk.rb to generate another piece of makefile which specifies all distributed files). 2. A combination of CVS and a small tool can generate a distribution fairly easily. I can simply export files in the CVS and regenerate some files if necessary. 3. A file called MANIFEST is used in many projects. This is basically the same as our way. The file lists all files (sometimes with wildcards). Okuji
