Hi, I'm working on an extragear project and until now, with svn, I have been using the 'create_tarball.rb' script[1] to generate my tarballs. If I'm right, this script has various limitations; it doesn't support creating tarbarlls from branches (you're forced to package everything from trunk) and it doesn't support git.
Since some day we will move to git and also I guess I'll do a branch my project some day, I'm thinking how I will create tarballs. IIRC I asked some time ago in IRC to Konversation guys how they where generating tarballs and someone pointed me this: https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~apachelogger/+junk/release-script-refactor I'm considering to start using that script (it seems better than create_tarball.rb) but I'm at the moment open to other options like improving create_tarball.rb to satisfy my needs. But I will try to not waste my time before doing anything so my question is: will be create_tarball.rb dropped in favor of Harald's script? Will they co- exist in the future? I'm asking because having such script in a bzr repo in launchpad seems a bit odd to be official for KDE.
