ArX Distribution Tools

To be documented:

 
  % arx update-distributions --help
build or update a tar ball
usage: update-distributions [options] [archive/]revision dist-name dir
 
   -V --version                  print version info
   -h --help                     display help
 
   --control                     include control files in the tar file.
   --changelog                   include ChangeLog's in the tar file.
   --cache DIR                   cache directory for locally cached
                                 revisions
   --config NAME                 after checking out the revision, pass
                                 NAME to "build-config" to complete
                                 the source tree.
 
   --silent                      no output
   --quiet                       only output errors
   --default-output              default output
   --report                      slightly verbose output
   --verbose                     maximal output
   --debug                       debugging output
 
  Ensure that DIR exists and is populated with the indicated revision
  from the archive.
 
  The tar file will be named:
 
        DIST-NAME-${VERSION}${SUFFIX}
 
  where VERSION is the version number of the revision being packaged, and
  SUFFIX is derived from the patch-level name of the revision.
 
  The value of ${SUFFIX} depends on the revision's patch level, as in
  these examples:
 
        revision:                               tar file:
 
        ArX--release--1.0--base-0              ArX-1.0pre0.tar.gz
        ArX--release--1.0--patch-3             ArX-1.0pre3.tar.gz
        ArX--release--1.0--version-0           ArX-1.0.tar.gz
        ArX--release--1.0--versionfix-5        ArX-1.0.5.tar.gz
 
  The top-level directory in the tar file has the same name as the tar
  file (but without the ".tar.gz" suffix).
