@section Distribution tar Files
@cindex distribution, tar files
The tar file for version @var{m}.@var{n} of program @code{foo} should be
named @file{foo-@var{m}.@var{n}.tar}. It should unpack into a
subdirectory named @file{foo-@var{m}.@var{n}}. Tar files should not
unpack into files in the current directory, because this is inconvenient
if the user happens to unpack into a directory with other files in it.
All packages should provide tar files for the distribution of their
releases. The tar file for version @var{m}.@var{n} of program
@code{foo} should be named @file{foo-@var{m}.@var{n}.tar}. It should
unpack into a subdirectory named @file{foo-@var{m}.@var{n}}. Tar
files should not unpack into files in the current directory, because
this is inconvenient if the user happens to unpack into a directory
with other files in it.
Here is how the @file{Makefile} for Bison creates the tar file.
This method is good for other programs.
