making an emacs-29 tarball for testing latest changes on the branch

[Andrés Ramírez]

Hi.

When You want to speedup compilation on a lower end machine. The best
alternative is making a tarball, this recipe worked in the past:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
autoreconf -i -I m4 --force
 make bootstrap
./make-dist --snapshot --no-compress --no-changelog
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So after downloading from savannah the snapshot                       
emacs-emacs-29.tar.gz. I tried the recipe.

If failed in the last step
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ./make-dist --snapshot --no-compress --no-changelog
Version number is 29.0.91
Sanity checking (use --no-check to disable this)...
The following .el files have no corresponding .elc files:
lisp/emacs-lisp/comp.el lisp/emacs-lisp/comp-cstr.el 
Failed checks
$ ./make-dist --snapshot --no-compress --no-changelog --no-check
Version number is 29.0.91

Try 'mkdir --help' for more information.
Cleaning up the staging directory
$ 
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

when 
,---- [  ]
| ./make-dist: line 397: make-dist.tmp.41366/MANIFEST: No such file or directory
`----

I did touch MANIFEST

Then I got the last error message.

What I am missing for making the tarball?

Best Regards
