commit 619bc23a1a2f3750ac3668fe5a7564bc51e01684
Author: Peter Eisentraut <peter@eisentraut.org>
Date: Mon Mar 25 05:28:19 2024 +0000
First released in: 17.0
make dist uses git archive
This changes "make dist" to directly use "git archive", rather than
the custom shell script it currently runs.
This is to make the creation of the distribution tarball more directly
traceable to the git repository. That is why we removed the "make
distprep" step.
"make dist" continues to produce a .gz and a .bz2 tarball as before.
The archives produced this way are deterministic and reproducible,
meaning for a given commit the result file should always be
bit-for-bit identical. The exception is that if you use a git version
older than 2.38.0, gzip records the platform in the archive, so you'd
get a different output on Windows vs. macOS vs. "UNIX" (everything
else). In git 2.38.0, this was changed so that everything is recorded
as "UNIX" now. This is just something to keep in mind. This issue is
specific to the gzip format, it does not affect other compression
formats.
Meson has its own distribution building command (meson dist), but we
are not using that at this point. The main problem is that, the way
they have implemented it, it is not deterministic in the above sense.
Also, we want a "make" version for the time being. But the target
name "dist" in meson is reserved for that reason, so we call the
custom target "pgdist" (so call something like "meson compile -C build
pgdist").
