Hi list,

In autotools times (i.e., 2.6.x) I was used to run:

$ make dist

to get a Wireshark source code tarball.
It looks like CMake wants to offer something similar

$ cmake ../ -DWS_SOURCE_DIR=“/tmp/wireshark”
$ make dist

But this fails over unreachable target ‘package_source’.
So, is this even supposed to work?
It uses cmake/modules/Dist.cmake, a module gone from the master.
Do we now fall back to tools/git-export-release.sh?
What am I missing here?

Seems to be what the buildbot is doing: https://buildbot.wireshark.org/wireshark-master/builders/Ubuntu%2016.04%20x64/builds/5055/steps/git-export-release/logs/stdio

Indeed, for master. 

What about master-2.6? There the autotools tarball build is used on the buildbot.

How is it supposed to work there with CMake?

Thanks,

Jaap

That would seem to still be using autotools and "make dist": https://buildbot.wireshark.org/wireshark-2.6/builders/Ubuntu%2016.04%20x64/builds/101/steps/shell_2/logs/stdio

For the official release tarballs, yes. 

But that is not the question. The question is how this is supposed to work with CMake in master-2.6?

Or is is not supposed to work at all, because then there’s rubbish in the repository suggesting it is.

Thanks,

Jaap
