Bug #: 13739
Summary: Obsolete distribution-building support
Product: glibc
Version: 2.15
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: libc
AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
ReportedBy: jsm28@gcc.gnu.org
CC: drepper.fsp@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
"make dist" now works through git. But lots of makefile still set a
"distribute" variable, which as far as I can tell isn't used anywhere.
manual/Makefile has additional special support for building a
documentation-only distribution, which I think is also bitrotten and obsolete
(I guess it's really a relic of smaller disk sizes, when people may have wanted
smaller distributions for particular little pieces of packages).
These settings and extra rules in manual/Makefile should be removed.
