I agree but unfortunately have a counter example (which is a shame as
package files would be so handy). As you might have seen I've just
added a number of macros that add custom Makefile targets, such as rpm
creation. AX_RPM depends on AX_INSTALL_FILES to create a list of file
that are installed and where they are installed. If someone creates a
AX_DEB_PKG macro, then this would also most probably benefit from using
AX_INSTALL_FILES. Which package is AX_INSTALL_FILES placed in then? If
both, how are they kept in sync and what happens when someone used both
AX_RPM and AX_DEB_PKG?
Cheers,
