If you are packaging qpdf for an operating system distribution,
here are some things you may want to keep in mind:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
Passing <option>--enable-show-failed-test-output</option> to
<command>./configure</command> will cause any failed test
output to be written to the console. This can be very useful
for seeing test failures generated by autobuilders where you
can't access qtest.log after the fact.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
If qpdf's build environment detects the presence of autoconf
and related tools, it will check to ensure that automatically
generated files are up-to-date with recorded checksums and fail
if it detects a discrepancy. This feature is intended to
prevent you from accidentally forgetting to regenerate
automatic files after modifying their sources. If your
packaging environment automatically refreshes automatic files,
it can cause this check to fail. Supress qpdf's checks by
passing <option>--disable-check-autofiles</option> to
<command>/.configure</command>. This is safe since qpdf's
<command>autogen.sh</command> just runs autotools in the normal
way.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
QPDF's <command>make install</command> does not install
completion files by default, but as a packager, it's good if
you install them wherever your distribution expects such files
to go. You can find completion files to install in the
<filename>completions</filename> directory.
</para>
</listitem>

Packagers are encouraged to install the source files from the
<filename>examples</filename> directory along with qpdf
development packages.

The qpdf detects out-of-date automatically generated files.
If your packaging system automatically refreshes libtool or
autoconf files, it could cause this check to fail. To avoid
this problem, pass
<option>--disable-check-autofiles</option> to
<command>configure</command>.

If you would like to have qpdf completion enabled
automatically, you can install completion files in the
distribution's default location. You can find sample
completion files to install in the
<filename>completions</filename> directory.
