https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D207299 --- Comment #12 from Raphael Kubo da Costa <rakuco@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Matthias Apitz from comment #9) > Some general remarks.

This should go without saying, but your efforts are really appreciated. I h= ope you take all the comments here as suggestions for improving your work rather than an attempt at deriding it. >> - Can't you avoid patching Makefile.am if you just install the additional >> documentation files yourself in the post-install target? > > Yes, could be done.

What I meant is that it's usually easier to install additional fil= es separately in post-install rather than changing the build system, as if you choose the latter approach you often need to regenerate your patches every = time there's a new software release. Since it's very unlikely there will ever be= a new muttprint release, it shouldn't matter much in this case. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
