             Bug #: 13739
           Summary: Obsolete distribution-building support
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.15
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: jsm28@gcc.gnu.org
                CC: drepper.fsp@gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


"make dist" now works through git.  But lots of makefile still set a
"distribute" variable, which as far as I can tell isn't used anywhere. 
manual/Makefile has additional special support for building a
documentation-only distribution, which I think is also bitrotten and obsolete
(I guess it's really a relic of smaller disk sizes, when people may have wanted
smaller distributions for particular little pieces of packages).

These settings and extra rules in manual/Makefile should be removed.
