"make dist" actually...

it will target make "dist-svn" or "make dist-git" depending on if you're using
git-svn or not.

be advised that dist-svn uses the BASE and any uncommitted change will not be
applied.

dist-git however, you can commit without pushing them and that will be used.

I've had a good play around with make dist.
It seems to me, like running make dist in the perl-install directory, (svn://svn.mageia.org/svn/soft/drakx/trunk/ )
does not produce the same tar.xz file as found within drakx-installer-stage2 sources.
For example, the tar.gz produced by "make dist" does not contain the "kernel", "perl-install/install" directories, etc.
Also, inside the tar, the first directory is: "drakxtools-15.29", rather than "drakx-installer-stage2-15.29". It is also
only 2.4MB instead of about 4.3MB.

Any suggestions?
