It seems that "-srcdir=." helps to workaround the issue. But I am wondering if this command is supported, since it is apparently untested? Should I use some different approach to create the snapshot tarball?

Hi Vit. Thanks always.

I confirmed to make-snapshot was broken.

https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/3234d6a6cba4e013cea778664ce4a8b372905ea1 is a reason for broken status.

nalsh was reverted it at https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/4b4f7c428c86deb7fa8743173e695122d00e66b1

Can you try it again with current trunk?

Note: tool/make-snapshot is our central toolchain for packaging. but it has no test and guarantee of working. It's our big concern.

Thx!

Yep it works with r61214

Sorry, I could be clearer in my grumbling :) I was more wondering about the best supported way to create the snapshot, IOW the most tested approach. Currently, I do something like (I know it actually does the checkout twice, but that is not big deal for me):

svn checkout http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/trunk ~/ruby
cd ~/ruby && tool/make-snapshot -packages=xz tmp

But it seems using Git(Hub) might be preferable these days?
