you could do: bin/maint/builddist knepley/pylith > > I found the builddist script in $PETSC_DIR/bin/maint but it seems to mess with > my current repo (cleaning, etc) and wants to configure with matlab enabled. > Should I make a clean clone for building the tarball? Yes I spin tarballs form a separate/clean repo. Since the script was written to not add in superflus stuff into release tarballs - it attempts to do a thorough 'clean' of the build tree. > What is the recommended > procedure for customizing the configure options in builddist (the cleaning > removes any changes I make) so that I get a tarball but don't need extra > packages like matlab and c2html? Hm - I don't think its possible to switch that off from configure [without some modifications] I can spin a nightly tarball for knepley/pylith and place it at the petsc ftp site - if that would be useful.
