Those tags are basically meaningless from a release perspective, though. As it is, for the purpose of the discussion I'll argue that we don't need official release versions or tarballs and that anyone who needs packages for xfstests is Doing it Wrong(tm). Realistically, the current head commit ID works just fine as a release version and so I don't think we don't need tarballs or released versions of xfstests. xfstests is developer rather than end user focussed and so it is assumed that you understand git if you have a need for running xfstests... i.e. this works as a test machine deployment method and is easily scriptable and deployable on test machines: # <install prereq packages> # cd /opt # git clone <xfstests git repo on build server> # cd xfstests # make # <grab config file from build server> # ./check -g auto And with that, there is no need for packaging.... That said, xfstests needs to be flexible so it can operate in all sorts of different environments, so how I do things really doesn't matter that much. If people really need xfstests to build RPMs so they can deploy RPMs, then like I said I'll take patches to make that work...
