I have no particular feeling about single-file utilities, but I'd
be definitively against dropping all multi-file ones in a single
directory. That would create a mess.
Just dropping the files into a single directory would indeed be a
mess. That wasn't my plan, I'll try to play around with it and see
what becomes of it. I can start putting the single-file ones in src/
though if everyone is OK with that. And then send a patch for review
for the multi-file ones.
Notice also that there is a difference between core- and inetutils:
our configure.ac gives installer a possibility to build only a
subset of all utilities.
So does coreutils using
--enable-intall-program/--disable-install-program.
The current implementation of this is suboptimal, as it was written
back ago when Automake did not support DIST_SUBDIRS. The latter
would greatly simplify it, but it relies on each utility residing
in its dedicated subdirectory.
I don't think that using DIST_SUBDIRS would be much cleaner vs. using
bin_PROGRAMS = @ftp@ ...; which is what we currently do (more or
less).
