Missing source tarball #652

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Hello,
I'm planning to package svg-edit for Debian, and it would be nice to have, 
alongside the "binary" tarball, also a source one, i.e. all the source as would 
be in a SVN checkout (obviously without the .svn/ dirs).

Extra points if the tarball is made without the binary things present in the 
repository (the files under build/, for example) :)

Thank you,
David

Cool stuff.  I don't know if anyone is planning to do this, but you should be 
able to check out the svn repo, then do:

$ find . | grep "\.svn" | xargs rm -rf

To get rid of the Subversion directories and then tarball up the things you 
want (mostly the editor/ folder, I suspect).

Not what I meant, sorry.

I know how to checkout the repo :) -- the advantages of having a source tarball 
distributed upstream are mainly:

1) no additional cruft in the packaging to get the original tarball. Normally, 
we just "link" (not so simple, but it's like this) to the upstream website, 
without a tarball I have to provide a Makefile target to re-generate it. It's 
simple, but boring, at least (-:

2) other developers and users wanting to rebuild my package will be able to 
compare hashsums between the tarball I upload in Debian, and the one hosted 
here.

3) hashsum stability: as I said in point 1, providing a Makefile target to 
create the tarball is easy -- the problem is that the hashsum isn't always the 
same (tar's fault).

So it would be better if, in your release process, you also add a source 
tarball. And if you could start providing one for what's currently released, 
that would be über-great (-:

Thank you!
David

(and I'd need the whole trunk/, not only editor/ -- just without build/)

Attaching a patch against current SVN.

Applied in r1702 and r1703. Sadly my version of tar was unable to --exclude-vcs 
and haven't manage to update it...so if you or maybe codedread would be so kind 
to run the makefile and attach the resulting 2.5.1 tarball, that'd be great. :)
