Example of problem
Build instructions are missing from the release tarballs. Look for docs/source/install.rst and notice that it is not present.
Problem description
Instructions for building from source are needed by precisely those with source code. The instructions need to correspond to the source version, as dependencies, build systems, etc. change over time. They should be available to those with the sources and without internet access.
Expected Output
The file that explains what dependencies are needed and how to build from source is tin the source code release tarballs.
Environment Information
- proj 9.8.1
- NetBSD 10 amd64, but this is about the tar file contents.
Suggested fix
One option is to move the list of dependencies and build commands to BUILDING.rst at top level in git, and have it be in the tarball, and have the last section of install.rst be a super brief pointer to BUILDING.rst with a note that for older versions one should consult docs/source/install.rst in git.
Another would be to include install.rst in the tarball. All of docs is currently excluded.
