(I asked why it looks for that > directory, but didn't see any answers.) Ah, sorry for forgetting to answer it. The reason is that those files are generated from admin/unidata/UnicodeData.txt. This file is about 1M byte, so I thought it was too big to be included in a tarball. The total of generated uni-*.el is about 200K. > Handa-san tried to fix this by checking the missing files into CVS, > but Miles objected, saying that generated files should not be there. > I think this is a non-issue, because make-dist is not supposed to > produce a workable tarball unless you bootstrap first.

Rather, before creating a snapshot, > people should say "make bootstrap" in their sandbox. I didn't know about admin/make-tarball.txt. Now I agree that we don't have to put uni-*.el in CVS tree. Perhaps, we should add a comment about the requirement of bootstrap at somewhere in make-dist. --- Kenichi Handa handa@m17n.org
