"make distcheck" was failing. This fixes it:
avoid "make distcheck" failure * docs/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Replace wildcards html/*.html and html/*.png the corresponding lists of file names.
Hum, that's still changing a bit.
All the more reason *not* to use wildcards.
I was just trying to carry the point that "docs/ is a work in progress, will be fixed, sorry for the inconvenience"
For example we are likely to include the HTML for the ocaml and ruby bindings as part of the distribution, and parts of the graphic design, including images are gonna change. Anyway I'm still wondering why using wildcards would break in principle, any good reason to not use them ?
If fixing a failing "make distcheck" isn't a good enough reason, take a look at the automake manual's section:
27.3 Why doesn't Automake support wildcards?
it gives several good reasons.
Okay thanks, will fix. But cleaner fix is by fixing/reusing $(apihtml) and $(apipng) that will be done as part of the docs/ fixup commit later.
