-Coders,
the 'dist' dir contains various stuff for testing and creating packages
and official releases. We currently ship it with the source
distribution, but IMHO don't properly update it in the patches branches.
E.g. 5.2.2.rc6 contains (chosen at random):
foo# grep -w '^VERSION' dist/Makefile
VERSION = 5.1.2
foo# ls -l dist/net-snmp-solaris-build/net-snmp-5.0.6-build
-rwxr-xr-x 1 fooman users 13993 2003-03-01 05:02
dist/net-snmp-solaris-build/net-snmp-5.0.6-build
(We've talked about dist/win32 previously, so I won't re-iterate.)
What to do about it? A few choices:
1) Dropping 'dist' from the patches branches and always keep it in MAIN
only. (This is what dist/RELEASE-INSTRUCTIONS seems to suggest. It may
look odd to ship it in 5.3, but not in 5.3.1, then, though.)
2) Properly maintaining 'dist' directories in all branches and keep on
shipping it with the source distribution, so that you don't need to grab
it from MAIN. May be done by just syncing with MAIN (as currently done
for the nsb* stuff).
3) Keep 'dist' in CVS *only* and do *not* ship it in the source
distribution at all.
4) Do nothing.
5) <your suggestion:>
