Thanks. OK, but please remove all the comments about tar unportability in the tests. It's so obvious. ;-) (and there are probably a dozen other places in the Automake source tree that you'd have to put the comment at as well, for any amount of consistency. I think having one comment, the one that already exists in lib/am/distdir.am, is fully sufficient.) > > I'm ok with fixing the manual also, although it's > > usually clear for people still having to use those vendor tars (and > > inconvenient for the rest). > > > Yes, I'd say we leave the examples in manual untouched.
