Thank you. :)

Yeah, this is probably a good idea; the same goes for moving version
info to a file instead of having it in tig.c.

Trying 'make rpm' on ubuntu 7.04 I get:

  $ rpmbuild -ta tig-0.6.g2463b4e.tar.gz
  error: Name field must be present in package: (main package)
  error: Version field must be present in package: (main package)

  error: Group field must be present in package: (main package)
  error: License field must be present in package: (main package)
  $ ls -l /usr/src/rpm/SPECS/
  total 0
  -rw------- 1 root root 0 2007-05-29 21:46 tar: Pattern matching characters used in file names. Please,

Strange.

I would prefer to do without. ;)

Yeah, once the "official" tarballs contains the version info, this
sounds like a good idea.

Looks like some problems with the SGML catalogs info.

Good idea, PDF is not essential and probably suboptimal to either of the
HTML versions of the manual.

It is a fairly recent addition to the asciidoc. Besides, I just tried it
and it seems to be completely unusable on ubuntu because of the way it
has been packaged; it cannot find required files.

I will probably try to simplify and clean this up a bit.

Does the .spec file need to be in the tarball for rpm to work? I mean,
if it can be generated from .spec.in, I would rather have the rpm target
create it?

Is the last entry a shorthand for the doc dependencies you listed above?

I don't know if manual.txt should perhaps be included if
HTML and PDF files will not be generated.
