[0.6.1 candidate] dist includes ffmpeg CVS dir
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
./gst-libs/ext/ffmpeg/ffmpeg/CVS exists in the gst-plugins dist tarball. If it's possible this should be taken out. Some people import the tarball code into a vendor branch of another CVS repository. CVS dirs in the vendor code cause trouble when doing this. There are workarounds. For instance, for Debian packagers using cvs-buildpackage, the cvs-upgrade tool has a -F option to strip such directories. However, it would be nice to not include CVS dirs at all.
This should fix the problem. Is there a reasoning behind disting ffmpeg/CVS/Tag, since it is the same as Tag? I'm fixing this in HEAD, and I recommend that it be applied to 0.6.1. diff -u -r1.10 Makefile.am --- Makefile.am 23 Feb 2003 19:58:50 -0000 1.10 +++ Makefile.am 4 Apr 2003 21:57:27 -0000 @@ -26,7 +26,6 @@ DISTFILES = \ $(PATCHES) \ Tag \ - ffmpeg/CVS/Tag \ ffmpeg/Changelog \ ffmpeg/COPYING \ ffmpeg/CREDITS \
