difference in git versus tarball release
Scott Moser
I was looking at pulling in boto 2.1.1 to Ubuntu, and when importing
the new source realized that the git branch is significantly different
than the release tarball. The full list of changes, as well as how I got
them is below, but I wondered if this was known and by-design. I didn't
see any 'make release' or anything in git repo, so I'm not sure how the
release is made.
The changes in git->tarball I think can be sumarrized as:
- remove "*test*" all tests
(except for boto/manage/test_manage.py, boto/sdb/db/test_db.py)
- remove "*.cfg"
- remove "*.rst"
- keep only bin, boto, PKG-INFO, setup.py in top level directory
(which removes docs/, Changelog.rst, and README.markdown)
- remove bin/asadmin (probably a mistake)
- remove boto/file/README
- remove boto/pyami/installers
Ubuntu and likely other distros are going to prefer taking input from a
tarball release. If the tarball is significantly different than the
source branch then things are confusing at best. The notable issue is
that then ubuntu's packaged version wont have the tests in the source, and
thus its not easy to run unit tests from it.
Thoughts?

Sorry for not including where I got the tarball.
http://code.google.com/p/boto/downloads/list
specifically "2.1.1.tar.gz" there:
