if you have autotools based build system than
make distcheck
is only way how to generate reliable and consistent tarballs.
My release sequence is usually:
git tag -s -m "release ${UL_NEXT_RELEASE}" ${UL_NEXT_RELEASE}
git clean -xfd
./autogen.sh
./tools/config-gen devel # or ./configure
make -j
make distcheck
note that build system uses tools/git-version-gen to get release
version so "git tag" is necessary to get proper release number.
