Yea, thats exactly the case. So, the package_source target will basically tar/zip/7 up the source tree as it is. I suspect part of its utility comes from the fact that someone may want to include extra stuff into the source tree as part of the build. I guess it also simplifies calling the commands and putting version numbers on the files. I think the whole github doing it automatically for you is pretty swell, but anyhow, this works to the same effect. -Josh _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
