[GRASS-dev] [release planning] GRASS GIS 8.4.0

[Markus Neteler]

Hi devs,

I just discovered that the tarball no longer contains the version in
the tarball "grass" subdir (expected "grass-8.4.0"):

tar tvfz ~/grass-8.4.0.tar.gz  | head
drwxr-xr-x runner/docker     0 2024-07-27 15:34 grass/
-rwxr-xr-x runner/docker 458838 2024-07-27 15:32 grass/configure
-rw-r--r-- runner/docker    778 2024-07-27 15:32 grass/pyproject.toml

drwxr-xr-x runner/docker      0 2024-07-27 15:32 grass/display/
drwxr-xr-x runner/docker      0 2024-07-27 15:32 grass/display/d.rhumbline/
-rw-r--r-- runner/docker     53 2024-07-27 15:32
grass/display/d.rhumbline/local_proto.h

Why is that? Is it a feature?
It breaks e.g. the (Fedora) RPM packaging procedure...
