(w/ apologies for delayed reply) > I guess my question is: what's the status of "make dist" "make dist" from a subversion tree is definitely maintained, since that's needed to roll the distro tarball. The difficulty is that the xml -> pdf document preparation stage relies on an incredibly fragile toolchain which involves installing zillions of XML-related rpms and tends to break whenever I upgrade my distro. Currently it works OK on SuSE 10.1 although not 10.2, so I keep a 10.1 (virtual) machine around specifically for that purpose. Whether make dist works from a tarball, I have no idea. I doubt it. > and the spec file? That I don't know either. I don't try to build rpms. I did push a fix for it into the 3_2_BRANCH just recently, but didn't test it. If you want to chase it, that would be good. J |
