Re: beta3

Okay, tried today what you suggested, about set -e and all that ... take a
look at ~pgsql/bin/mk-beta, to see if maybe I missed something ... but,
trying to do the packaging, I'm getting an error about 'build.xml'?

/usr/bin/tar cf postgresql-opt-7.2b3.tar postgresql-7.2b3/src/backend/utils/mb postgresql-7.2b3/contrib/retep postgresql-7.2b3/build.xml postgresql-7.2b3/src/tools postgresql-7.2b3/src/corba postgresql-7.2b3/src/data postgresql-7.2b3/src/tutorial postgresql-7.2b3/src/bin/pgaccess postgresql-7.2b3/src/bin/pgtclsh postgresql-7.2b3/src/bin/pg_encoding postgresql-7.2b3/src/interfaces/odbc postgresql-7.2b3/src/interfaces/libpq++ postgresql-7.2b3/src/interfaces/libpgtcl postgresql-7.2b3/src/interfaces/perl5 postgresql-7.2b3/src/interfaces/python postgresql-7.2b3/src/interfaces/jdbc postgresql-7.2b3/src/pl/plperl postgresql-7.2b3/src/pl/tcl
/usr/bin/tar: can't add file postgresql-7.2b3/build.xml : No such file or directory
gmake: *** [postgresql-opt-7.2b3.tar] Error 1
gmake: *** Deleting file `postgresql-opt-7.2b3.tar'
%

Looking in the wrong directory?

%find . -name build.xml -print
./contrib/retep/build.xml
./src/interfaces/jdbc/build.xml
