Hi Werner: I have just now committed some changes to the script to satisfy your needs. Before, the -n option was equivalent to -DBUILD_DOC=OFF. Now it is equivalent to dropping all pregeneration from the tarball, i.e., -DPREBUILD_DIST=OFF -DBUILD_DOC=OFF. (Use "scripts/make_tarball.sh -h" to obtain documentation of all script options.) I have checked the (new) -n option with the trunk version of svn as follows scripts/make_tarball.sh -w https://plplot.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/plplot -t trunk -c -i /tmp/plplot_install -n and it works as advertised. (I also tested my changes without the -n option to make sure the script continues to work for Hazen's release manager needs.) Please try the -n option for yourself (and you can drop the -c and -i options is you don't want to test the tarball result). Of course, a tarball generated with the -n option will be missing the extensive documentation pre-generated from our docbook source, the pre-generated header file, and the pregenerated octave documentation. In other words, those who use the snapshot will have exactly what they would have got if they had done a direct svn checkout for themselves. I assume that should not be a problem.
