-* Some files in the automake package are not owned by automake (many by
- gnulib, https://gnu.org/s/gnulib); these files are listed in the
- $(FETCHFILES) variable in Makefile.am. They should never be edited
- here. All but one of them can be updated from respective upstreams
- with "make fetch" (this should be done especially before releases).
- The only exceptions are help2man (install the current version) and
- 'lib/COPYING' (from FSF), which should be updated by hand whenever the
- GPL gets updated (which shouldn't happen that often anyway :-).
