3.2.1 The Top Level

AUTHORS.txt

In the top level of the distribution, there must be a file AUTHORS.txt which contents is as follows:

Fabrice Bardèche     <bardec_f@epita.fr>
Jean-Paul Sartre     <sartre_j@epita.fr>
Jean-Paul Deux       <deux_j@epita.fr>
Jean-Paul Belmondo   <belmon_j@epita.fr>

The group leader is first. Do not include emails other than those of EPITA. We repeat: give the ‘login@epita.fr’ address. Starting from TC-1, the file AUTHORS.txt is distributed thanks to the EXTRA_DIST variable in the top-level Makefile.am, but pay attention to the spelling.
