This one sucks: 'make tags' won't cover headers in include/iptables and include/linux because Makefile.am merely lists the directories in EXTRA_DIST. Since automake does not support anything involving wildcards, I see only two options moving forward: A) List the individual files in EXTRA_DIST instead of the directories B) Replace Makefile.am by (yet another) GNUmakefile.in While (A) means updating Makefile.am whenever a new linux header is being cached, (B) is going into the false direction in my opinion. Better ideas are appreciated, of course. :) Cheers, Phil
