I've been collaborating with the lead developer of flactag on release processes for git/autotools projects, he's put together a script that does the whole thing.
I've generalised it for building just about anything that works with git/autotools and published it here: https://sourceforge.net/p/git2dist/code/?branch=ref%2Fmaster It's had two test runs today, flactag-2.0.1 and ganglia-3.3.7 There is a config file in the ganglia repository for it now: https://github.com/ganglia/monitor-core/blob/master/git2dist.rc The key benefit of this is that it does all the tedious stuff to test the tarball (unpack, make, gmond -t, ldd gmond) and aborts with a nice error if there is anything suspicious. And all you have to do is type: git clone g...@github.com:ganglia/monitor-core.git some-dir git2dist some-dir/git2dist.rc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
