LGTM. Thanks Alan!
Thanks to you, Peter, & Ray for reviews. I merged this, and thought
"Okay, time to cut a new release." And then I found the mistake.
automake automatically includes a file named "README" in the tarball.
It does not include a file named "README.md".
So, we seem to have two choices:
1) Ship with README.md:
Just add "EXTRA_DIST = README.md" to Makefile.am in every component.
.
2) Ship with README:
Follow our pattern with Changelog & INSTALL files and add a macro
to xorg-macros.m4 to define a makefile macro such as:
README_CMD = cp -f $(top_srcdir)/README.md $(top_srcdir)/README
and in Makefile.am in every component:
+README:
+ $(README_CMD)
+
-dist-hook: ChangeLog INSTALL
+dist-hook: ChangeLog INSTALL README
Anyone have a preference? Shipping README.md seems easier - will it cause
problems for any distros or packagers?
