[Ganglia-developers] releasing 3.3.2 with make dist - missing files

2012-03-20 Thread Daniel Pocock
I tried `make dist' for a possible 3.3.2 release, there are some differences in the fileset I don't think all of them are essential to the release, but I'm publishing it here so people can have a quick look and make any comments I already notice the web/.git stuff - I'll exclude that from

I've updated the document at https://github.com/ganglia/monitor-core/wiki/BuildingARelease and been able to follow the steps there to build a working tarball (at least the tarball works for me). The main change is that it now relies on `make dist' rather than scripts/package-ganglia-release

I tested the tarball and it still does not contain the following files: ganglia-3.3.2/ChangeLog ganglia-3.3.2/libmetrics/ChangeLog ganglia-3.3.2/libmetrics/INSTALL Those files are necessary if you do a autoreconf -fi which is necessary if you add something to any *.am file in the source tree. I

Michael's request for ChangeLog and INSTALL files mentions a requirement to re-bootstrap the source tree (using autoreconf to regenerate Makefiles) Some time ago we had a discussion where it was decided that the autotools product versions in Debian 6.0 (squeeze) would be the official

I don't really want to make a big deal out of this but I thought it was long agreed that we would tag a release (eg. 3.3.2) and that would potentially be our Release Candidate. If everything is fine, we will just release as is otherwise we will discard 3.3.2, bump the version to 3.3.3 and repeat
