[pacman-dev] [PATCH 3/6] Update Makefile.am and configure.ac for gpgdir

[Pang Yan Han]

Hi guys, sorry for the late reply. A lot of things cropped up over the past
week.

I guess this patch was a mistake. My original intent was for the files to be
there
since there hasn't been much discussion as to how we will distribute the
actual
pubring.gpg and trustdb.gpg files.

Thanks for the feedback though. =)

Dan is right in that gpg should be invoked to create the files if we really
want to
do it.
