Providing bootstrapped release sources #10

Closed seki98 closed 6 years ago

seki98 commented 6 years ago

I wonder if it would be possible, to provide also bootstrapped sources.

After the local directory is bootstrapped , make dist can be executed, which will produce a tarball containing everything needed for configure and make scripts.

The generated tarball does not need additional sources to be download, after the release sources have been downloaded and extracted.

Steps:

$ git clone https://github.com/rrthomas/recode.git && cd recode
$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make dist
$ ls
... recode-3.7.tar.gz ...

Please let me know your ideas, having the sources at least alongside the existing ones(which don't include gnulib sources) might be useful for linux distributions.

The release tarballs are built from make dist.

I am sorry I was looking at the other source, which is probably generated only from the tracked git sources. My apologies. Thanks!
