I think -s should be used here. I have seen projects out there which |
| 12 |
don't use the mandatory autotools files (INSTALL, NEWS, README, AUTHORS, |
| 13 |
ChangeLog, COPYING) at all or use other files than these. So they just |
| 14 |
place an empty file there to make automake happy instead of using the |
| 15 |
--foreign option. Besides that it makes no sense to install empty |
| 16 |
documentation files at all. |
