But these days, most projects are defaulting to silent rules without user intervention. * configure.ac (AM_SILENT_RULES): Add, to match what most projects are doing these days. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <[email protected]> commit c8a4b7c32db3a6d8d5dc7a9997df2c80ac95b030 Author: Eric Blake <[email protected]> Date: Sat Dec 31 07:26:44 2016 -0600 maint: release no longer creates a diff file Ever since commit f1cf390 (1.4.14 release), we no longer create diff files as part of the release process. These days, it is assumed that it is easier to download a fresh tarball rather than to try and use a diff file to patch an older tarball.
