Hi When I build distribution tarballs on my Mac sometimes resource forks find their way into the tarball and then when they are extracted on another platform, Debian for example, these resource forks show up as separate files of the for ._*, e.g.:
ldg-cert-util-2.5/debian# ls -la total 68 drwxr-xr-x 2 501 staff 4096 Mar 30 09:13 . drwxr-xr-x 5 501 staff 4096 Mar 29 20:54 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 501 staff 240 May 13 2010 ._compat -rw-r--r-- 1 501 staff 240 May 13 2010 ._control -rw-r--r-- 1 501 staff 240 May 13 2010 ._copyright -rw-r--r-- 1 501 staff 240 May 13 2010 ._install -rwxr-xr-x 1 501 staff 240 May 13 2010 ._rules -rw-r--r-- 1 501 staff 80 Mar 28 19:57 Makefile.am -rw-r--r-- 1 501 staff 8371 Mar 29 20:52 Makefile.in -rw-r--r-- 1 501 staff 1204 Mar 28 20:00 changelog -rw-r--r-- 1 501 staff 2 May 13 2010 compat -rw-r--r-- 1 501 staff 608 May 13 2010 control -rw-r--r-- 1 501 staff 157 May 13 2010 copyright -rw-r--r-- 1 501 staff 81 May 13 2010 install -rwxr-xr-x 1 501 staff 442 May 13 2010 rules Is there some rule that I can add that will strip any resource forks from files before adding them to the distribution? Cheers Adam
