I'm not sure I understand what you are asking: If you want to rename the
CMakeListsCustom.txt.example back to CMakeListsCustom.txt then yes, I'm really
opposed to it, because in that case I don't see any advantage in modifying the
...Custom... file instead of changing the original CMakeLists.txt file. My
motivation for this change was to avoid haing a modified *checked* in file
in my source tree while doing dissector development.
How about adding a variable in the custom file that allows additional files to
be pickt up for packaging?
