UT2003, for example, requires a large number of files, in a specific |
| 14 |
directory hierarchy, that do not have unique names. If they were to be |
| 15 |
put in distfiles, it would be necessary, at least, to put them in a |
| 16 |
subdirectory of distfiles, like ut2003, and such a system is not |
| 17 |
yet standardized. |
