Usually yes, because we'd want it to go into the *.tar.gz file which is how some distros (eg. Fedora) consume virt-p2v. There is a useful rule: make dist && make maintainer-check-extra-dist which should check that all files necessary are listed in EXTRA_DIST (or pulled in implicitly - you don't need EXTRA_DIST for *_SOURCES and a few other things). > What other Makefile macros? I'd do something like: check_SCRIPTS = my_script.sh which tells automake that 'my_script.sh' is needed for 'make check'. If the script needs @foo@ autoconf expansions, then create a file called 'my_script.sh.in' and add that to configure.ac. See existing AC_CONFIG_FILES entries. I think check_SCRIPTS and/or AC_CONFIG_FILES implicitly adds the script or its source to EXTRA_DIST. Rich.
