Hello, I wanted to distribute all seven formats (because I like having everything available, even if its too much), so I ran "make dist-zip dist-shar dist-bz2 ..." for my program. Only the first one I specified worked, and the rest contained 0 files, or just plain failed. After researching the generated Makefile, I saw that each ``dist-'' command called ``distdir'', after which it would run the utilities in a way that the directory outputted by ``distdir'' would be deleted. Since make will only run ``distdir`` once, the rest of the commands have no files to work on.
My proposal is to somehow allow ``distdir'' to be called multiple times or, alternatively, have the ``dist-'' commands not delete the files and find out some way to delete them once all ``dist-'' commands have completed (the former probably being easier then the later). For now, I can just run each ``dist-'' command individually. This is not that hard, but it would probably be helpful to any other users like me that produce more then one distribution at a time.
