Comment (by leif):
Replying to [ticket:20717 embray]:
> Every file or directory in the upstream tarball for elliptic_curves
contains a corresponding `._<filename>` file containing OSX-specific
"extended attributes" for the file. Those should be stripped out when
creating the tarball.
>
> Is this just a Sage issue or a problem upstream as well? It's not
always clear to me since I'm not sure if/when we're using unmodified
source tarballs.
While I've worked on many (if not all) spkgs over the years, I've never
seen such garbage in ''vanilla'' upstream tarballs. (Occasionally, there
had been harmless leftovers like backup files from editors, or cache files
from autotools which don't have to get shipped, but IIRC only in tarballs
from projects closely related to Sage.)
Note that in the past, the upstream sources were part of the spkgs (now
so-called legacy spkgs), and even to that time, it rarely happened that
Sage developers accidentally included such files when creating an spkg,
and it was part of the review process to make sure that a) the upstream
sources are vanilla (modulo removed files we don't need, such as large
prepared documentation, redundant sources of prerequisites, or e.g.
Microsoft Visual Foo project files), and b) there are no additional files
(like those mentioned above, including `.DS_Store` etc.).
I personally would have made ''this'' ticket a blocker, rather than
#20842, in addition to modifications to the release, dist and/or upload
scripts.
