And while we're talking about things that suck wrt packaging, I noticed it's 
now been over a year since I first complained about the stable snapshots in 
our ftp directory being outdated 
(http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/stable_snapshot/), if no one is going to fix 
that, can we remove them?

Marc, how's this coming? We still need this documented somewhere, if
it's not being put into CVS. And documenting what it is could be a good
starting point for somebody else to put it into the Makefile, if you
don't have the time to work on that part yourself.

But not having it documented *or* in the Makefile just sucks...

right, as peter originally said, 'make dist' *could* incorporate the steps that 
right now lead up to 'make dist' (ie. build the docs) ...

AFAIK "make dist" does not prepare postgres.tar.gz.

If we can do that, that makes it even better. But is it something we can
reasonably backpatch? Otherwise we still need both documentation and
scripts to deal with back branches.

Most of what these scripts have done in the past has been systematized 
and folded into the "make dist" target in the mean time, and AFAICT, we 
could integrate the documentation preparation as well, now that it 
works automatically in a reliable fashion.  That would reduce the 
answer to the original question to something like

./configure
make dist[check]

Is this script in CVS somewhere? I know it's not in the main backend repo.
But we shuold keep it either there or somewhere else - perhaps the pmt

Just a script ... relevant bits:

[HACKERS] How do we create the releases?

2007-06-05 Thread Devrim GÜNDÜZ

Hi Marc,

Is there a written procedure about creating tarballs? I'd like to start
working on 8.3 RPMs and I want to know what I should to to create a
tarball.
