Prepping source code

Note: The creation of a tarball for your source code is generally done by the developer not the packager

In this exercise we are going to take the each of our hello world programs (cello, bello, and pello) and create a source archive.

Commands

Create a temporary directory and copy your source code and license into it.

mkdir -p /tmp/bello-0.1
cp -v ../bello /tmp/bell-0.1
cp -v ./LICENSE tmp/bell-0.1

Then create your archive

tar -cvzf bello-0.1.tar.gz bello-0.1

Rinse and repeat for all the other archives.
