Every single piece of maintainer documentation I know of says to build your tarballs with distcheck. I don't roll tarballs with the dist target, and neither should anybody else. On multiple occasions, I've found non-valid DocBook files in rolled tarballs. So clearly, there are people making tarballs with just dist. Maybe the release team should run distcheck, and refuse tarballs (loudly and publicly, on d-d-l) that don't pass. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ gnome-doc-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-doc-list
