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.

I know it's not in the main backend repo. But we shuold keep it either there or somewhere else - perhaps the pmt repository? //Magnus

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] -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/

But is it something we can reasonably backpatch? Otherwise we still need both documentation and scripts to deal with back branches. //Magnus

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... //Magnus
