----------------------------------
Summary: [GLib] Support prepared source archive release
Key: ARROW-719
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-719
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Kouhei Sutou
c_glib/ uses GNU Autotools (autoconf, libtool and so on) build system.
Normally, source archive that uses GNU Autotools build system includes
configure script. Because users don't need GNU Autotools if source archive
includes configure script.
configure script is generated by running autogen.sh (autoreconf) with
configure.ac and Makefile.ams.
The current Apache Arrow release script (dev/02-source.sh) just runs "git
archive". The generated archive doesn't include configure script. So users need
GNU Autotools.
I hope that c_glib/ source archive includes configure script. Normally, source
archive is generated by "make dist" for package that uses GNU Autotools. The
generated source archive includes configure script and all needed files.
How should I change the current release script? Should I change
dev/02-source.sh, create a new file or choose other approach?
