Changes from 1.0 * Adapted to version 2.0 of Pool. * Modified the interface between 'makedist' and the preparation script (PREPARE). 'mLog log ...' is now simply 'mLog ...'. Changes from 0.2 * None, just a code freeze for Pool 1.0. The next version will require Pool 2.0. Changes from 0.1 * More than one packer callable per invocation. This reduces the overhead on retrieval and complex pre- processing if more than one archive has to be generated. * The external preparation script now has access to the options given to 'makedist' itself. A parsed version of DESCRIPTION is part of the environment now too. * Support procedures to create ANNOUNCE, LSM files. * Support procedures for partial automatic generation of urls. Requires url heads only, adds in the filenames by itself.
