This does not build the release. OpenLDAP does use git archive to pick the files for a release, but then untars them, runs build/mkrelease, and tars the result up again. mkrelease seems to use sha1 and md5 programs from FreeBSD, the Linux utilities I found have different output format. As for git archive --remote=git://git.openldap.org/openldap.git, man git-daemon says this requires 'git config daemon.uploadarch true'. But since the result differs from a release, it may do more harm than help to enable it. Unless it is set up to create an README.INCOMPLETE-RELEASE file or something. -- Hallvard
