Binary sha1.o in source tree and tarball

[bluca]

Hello,

I am working on packaging CZMQ for Debian.

Is there any specific reason for https://github.com/zeromq/czmq/blob/master/src/foreign/sha1/sha1.o to be checked in the Git tree and distributed in the release tarballs? As far as I can see (and grep) there is no reference to the file anywhere.

Thank you!
Kind regards,
Luca Boccassi

No, there is no reason for it to be there. Care to open a PR that removes the file and adds it to .gitignore (if necessary)? Otherwise, I'll do it later this week.

[bluca]

I will do in a minute. Thank you :-)

[bluca]

Thanks for merging this. If I may ask, are there plans already for the next release?

Thank you!

@hintjens can probably do a patch release if this is blocking your progress.

[bluca]

Thanks, but fortunately it is not at the moment, because I found out that the tar.gz posted on http://download.zeromq.org/ is stripped from many build-related files and scripts, and the debian/watch file is pointed there rather than to Github. That tarball does not have the sha1.o.

Is it documented somewhere what is included in the tar.gz published on http://download.zeromq.org and what is excluded? Is there a script somewhere?

Most likely what is left after a make distclean

Mmh it doesn't look like, I tried running ./autogen.sh, ./configure and then make distclean but all the build-system files are still there.

@jemc @hintjens in case it doesn't happen normally, would it be possible to re-run ./generate.sh before the next release, if it's not too much trouble? Thanks!

@bluca see #1046
