Would it make sense to introduce "rsync-syntax" here as in: DOCS="directory/" does the same as "dodoc -r directory/*" DOCS="directory" does the same as "dodoc -r directory" (In reply to Tiziano Müller from comment #2) > Would it make sense to introduce "rsync-syntax" here as in: > > DOCS="directory/" does the same as "dodoc -r directory/*" > DOCS="directory" does the same as "dodoc -r directory" I'd rather not, especially since the interpretation of trailing slashes has changed in POSIX.1-2008, insofar as "directory/" is no longer defined as being equivalent to "directory/." (as it still was in POSIX.1-2004). AFAICS, an explicit DOCS="directory/." should work for the first case above.
