[postgis-devel] Issue 60 in postgis: Tarball of 1.3.3 has object files and .svn directories; impossible to build without clean on MacPro

[Kevin Neufeld]

On hind site, yes, you're right - the postgis-1.3.3.tar.gz should not 
have been updated.  My bad.  At the time old scripts were being revamped 
into an automated build process and the updated tarball was simply a 
test of the new system.

I do still have the old tarball, but that was done well over a month 
ago.  I can swap the files, but now folks like xander already updated 
MacPro with new checksums.  Perhaps we should leave it since 1.3.4 will 
be coming out very shortly here?
