+</I>&gt;<i> While updating youri and iurt packages yesterday I noticed that it's
+</I>&gt;<i> not easy to make new versions of mageia software that we have on svn
+</I>&gt;<i> soft repository, and each of them has different makefile rules to
+</I>&gt;<i> generate tarballs or sometimes update packages. Most versions are not

+</I>&gt;<i> the train from fosdem yesterday I created a small script to tag versions,
+</I>&gt;<i> create tarballs and publish them on mageia mirrors, for the software on
+</I>&gt;<i> svn soft repository.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> You can install it with mgasoft package on cauldron.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> To tag a new version :
+</I>&gt;<i> $ mgasoft tag [name] [version]
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> To create a tarball :
+</I>&gt;<i> $ mgasoft tar [name] [version]
+</I>&gt;<i> Or a tarball from trunk, for testing :
+</I>&gt;<i> $ mgasoft tar [name] trunk
+</I>
+As you say, there is some variation in how tarballs are made. How does
+this 'tar' command generate the tarball?
+
+It is common for the &quot;make dist&quot; (or whatever) to package additional
+files not present in SVN to the tarball, such as 'configure' et al or
+'ChangeLog' (generated from SVN), so one can't directly just put the
+trunk directory in the tarball...
+
+&gt;<i> To publish a tarball on mageia mirrors :
+</I>&gt;<i> $ mgasoft publish [name] [version]
+</I>&gt;<i> This will create this file on mirrors :
+</I>&gt;<i> /software/[name]/[name]-[version].tar.xz
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Some things that do not work now :
+</I>&gt;<i> - software in sub-directories on the svn (like build_system/mgarepo or
+</I>&gt;<i> build_system/iurt). We can change the script to support this, but it
+</I>&gt;<i> will become more complicated and slower. Or we can move everything in
+</I>&gt;<i> the root directory and stop using sub-directories like build_system.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Some things I plan to add :
+</I>&gt;<i> - gpg signature of the files on mirrors
+</I>&gt;<i> - upload of the files on binrepo, so you don't need to upload them when
+</I>&gt;<i> updating the package
+</I>&gt;<i> - option to download tarball from binrepo instead of generating it (to
+</I>&gt;<i> create package using the same tarball as on mirrors)
+</I>&gt;<i> - option to quickly see diff between two versions
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>
