Well, #1, you should do that anyways. But, #2, no you don't -need- to |
| 10 |
have autoconf already run inside the tarball if you really don't want |
| 11 |
to; it's convention but there are projects that don't. Also, #3, |
| 12 |
doing this is as easy as running 'make dist' when you have an |
| 13 |
autotools build system, so generating said tarballs for release may |
| 14 |
actually be -easier- than what you're doing now. |
