When the tarballs are created, .svn are left in place which contain the entire tree as it was when last checked out (essentially to be able to do local-diffs with svn). This files are not needed and unnecessarily double the size of the tarball - please remove them in future. $ tar jxf $DISTDIR/cinelerra-cvs-20070122.tar.bz2 $ find cinelerra-cvs/ -name .svn -exec rm -fr {} \; $ tar jcf cinelerra-cvs-20070122-sans-svn.tar.bz2 cinelerra-cvs/ $ ls -l $DISTDIR/cinelerra-cvs-20070122.tar.bz2 cinelerra-cvs-20070122-sans-svn.tar.bz2 46641387 $DISTDIR/cinelerra-cvs-20070122.tar.bz2 23732161 cinelerra-cvs-20070122-sans-svn.tar.bz2 The size reduction saves time downloading and especially unpacking. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
--exclude .svn option added when taring the new snapshot, thanks for pointing that ;)
