Well, it's possible, but I'm not sure yet what the best way to do this might be. It's probably worth looking at other projects that do this. Perhaps IOhannes has some ideas working with Debian, etc. I'm less familiar with this approach as I'm used to downloading and building the source-only tarballs for other projects.
Like a lot of things, there might be support for this style distribution in autoconf/automake and we just need to use it (hopefully). I'd say this might be more of a 0.49 goal. > On Dec 3, 2017, at 12:20 AM, Miller Puckette <[email protected]> wrote: > > I think that means that I would have to switch from my bare source release > style to releasing an autotools-source-release.
