Let me reiterate my earlier point, since this is straying from the main point:
A simple dist.sh script should be sufficient. We do not need automake to take the place of a simple shell script. serf's dist.sh is almost precisely what APR could use: it produces a .bz2 and a .zip file. No complicated options or other processing (unlike svn's release.py and dist.sh pair which manages the *process* rather than just producing tarballs). -g On Fri, Mar 16, 2012 at 16:38, Greg Stein <[email protected]> wrote: > On Fri, Mar 16, 2012 at 15:17, Graham Leggett <[email protected]> wrote: >> On 16 Mar 2012, at 9:05 PM, William A.
