We want to have an INSTALL file that contains installation instructions for the tarball users. These instructions are necessarily package specific, because they need to list the prerequisites or reference the DEPENDENCIES file. Additionally, many people who are not aware that tarballs are the primary means for source code distribution of GNU packages check out the git repository and then expect to see instructions for installing from that git checkout in the INSTALL file. See e.g. <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?62196>. Unfortunately, both Automake (with strictness option = 'gnu') and 'bootstrap' both contain code to copy the generic (not package specific) installation instructions to the file 'INSTALL'. This is not what we want, so we disable it. (Other packages handle this issue by putting part of the installation instructions into the README file. This is suboptimal, because this is not what the README file is for.) * autogen.sh: Import INSTALL.generic from gnulib. * INSTALL: Entirely rewritten, based on poke/INSTALL. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add INSTALL.generic. * libtextstyle/autogen.sh: Import INSTALL.generic from gnulib. * libtextstyle/INSTALL: Entirely rewritten, based on poke/INSTALL. * libtextstyle/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add INSTALL.generic.
GNU LIBTEXTSTYLE - Text styling library
This library provides an easy way to add styling to programs that
produce output to a console or terminal emulator window.
libtextstyle is for you if your application produces text that is more
readable when it is accompanied with styling information, such as color,
font attributes (weight, posture), or underlining.
Installation
------------
As usual for GNU packages:
