In teaching there's the technique of listing things that the reader will "know" and be able to do after following the tutorial. In the introduction you say that this tutorial is for people who want to make their programs available as open source, and then your describe how to add Autotools configuration. I find this iffy — IMO Autotools should not be used for anything new. It just doesn't make sense to even hint to anyone new to the subject of packaging of trying that. And by describing it first and in detail you implicitly give the message that it's a useful technique. Later you talk about CMake. I like that you describe a workflow that uses pkgconfig; the declarative style of CMakeLists.txt in your example is nice and modern. FWIW, I think that a Meson config would be even better. It would be great to have a the same project configured with CMake and Meson to be able to compare the two approaches. Zbyszek PS. From the section about git: > git commit -m "Program [V-$version] `date`" This is not useful. A git commit contains a date. -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
