Also, the whole thing would probably be a lot more readable if the
?NOTR?/?DOTR? prefixes vanished and were replaced by full rules, wrapped

since it would then only appear a couple of times, it could be longer
without pain, too.
Do you mean something like:
install-man: install-man1 install-notrans-man1
install-man1: trans_DEPENDENCIES
trans_RULES
install-notrans-man1: notrans_DEPENDENCIES
notrans_RULES
No.
Hi Ralf,
what then? Maybe this:
if only trans
install-man1: trans_DEPENDENCIES
trans_RULES
as before, if only notrans
install-man1: notrans_DEPENDENCIES
notrans_RULES
or if both are present
install-man1: trans_DEPENDENCIES notrans_DEPENDENCIES
trans_RULES
notrans_RULES
Pro: much simpler to read
Con: duplication of code, harder to maintain
or still something else. If so please indicate what.
Regards,
Peter
