I've had a good play around with make dist.
It seems to me, like running make dist in the perl-install directory,
(svn://svn.mageia.org/svn/soft/drakx/trunk/ )
does not produce the same tar.xz file as found within
drakx-installer-stage2 sources.
For example, the tar.gz produced by "make dist" does not contain the
"kernel", "perl-install/install" directories, etc.
Also, inside the tar, the first directory is: "drakxtools-15.29", rather
than "drakx-installer-stage2-15.29".  It is also
only 2.4MB instead of about 4.3MB.

Any suggestions?

Glen
