+How to make a distribution
|
|
|
+--------------------------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+I have written a new tool to generate the distributions that does not rely on
|
|
|
+having a local CVS server --- distr/mkdist.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+To use it, you need to specify your CVS work tree, the destination directory
|
|
|
+that the distribution will be written to, plus flags. It should be self-
|
|
|
+documenting; use:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ mkdist --help
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+...to get documentation.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+It uses .distr files in exactly the same way as the previous mechanism.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The documentation for the old distribution tools follows.
