It seems to me, like running make dist in the perl-install directory, (svn://svn.mageia.org/svn/soft/drakx/trunk/ ) does not produce the same tar.xz file as found within drakx-installer-stage2 sources. For example, the tar.gz produced by "make dist" does not contain the "kernel", "perl-install/install" directories, etc. Also, inside the tar, the first directory is: "drakxtools-15.29", rather than "drakx-installer-stage2-15.29". It is also only 2.4MB instead of about 4.3MB.
Any suggestions? Regards Glen
