It seems to me up to date list is in chapter "14.5 The Types of Distributions"List of supported types in "14.5 The Types of Distributions" is alphabetical. Probably default could be listed first followed by other (+0 to change order).Final paragraph in chapter 14.5 is "The rule dist (and its historical synonym dist-all) will create archives in all the enabled formats, Options[HREF!]. By default, only the dist-gzip target is hooked to dist. " What about to change HREF "#Options" (chapter 17 "Changing Automake's Behavior") to exact reference "#List-of-Automake-options"(chapter 17.2 "List of Automake options") ?Regards, Roumen Petrov

While at it, I've thrown in some other miscellaneous improvements to the descriptions of the 'dist-*'. See third patch. I've also make clear the 'shar' and 'tarZ' are obsolescent, and better avoided (see discussion about automake bug#13324 for more background). See the fourth patch. > > Final paragraph in chapter 14.5 is "The rule dist (and its > historical synonym dist-all) will create archives in all the > enabled formats, Options[HREF!].

Done with the fifth patch. Every point should have been addressed, so I'm closing this report. Thanks, Stefano0001-docs-document-dist-xz-together-with-the-other-dist-o.patch
