13. Rolling Distribution Tarballs
There's something about the word `tarballs' that make you want to
avoid them altogether, let alone get involved in the disgusting process
of rolling one. And, in the past, that was apparently the attitude of
most developers, as witnessed by the strange ways distribution tar
archives were created and unpacked. Automake largely automates this
tedious process, in a sense providing you with the obliviousness you
crave.
