Description gent_bz 2007-04-11 13:57:22 UTC
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.

--exclude .svn option added when taring the new snapshot, thanks for pointing that ;)
