Would be good to be able to use it from any directory. You can use the configure script to provide you the top_srcdir directory and fill it in a srcinfo-extractor.pl.in and generate srcinfo-extractor.pl Look at prmgt/get-test-data.sh.in for an example. > If you think that it should be run from the top dir just remove a dot from > the TOPDIR variable, i.e: > ## > my $TOPDIR="."; > ### > > > > It is possible to rewrite the script to automatically scan for any > > MANIFEST.wiki file without having to manually push them into @dirs? > > Can you provide a patch? > > Yes, I thought about that before.

Many thanks, Gerel.
