+ may make it easier to get LLVM into a distribution. This can be done with
+ the following commands:</p>

+ make dist # Build the distribution source tarball
+ make dist-check # Check that the source tarball can build itself.
+ cp llvm-M.m.tar.gz /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES # Required by rpmbuild

+ <p>First, use "make dist" to simply build the distribution. Any
failures need to be corrected (on the branch). Once "make dist" can be
successful, do "make dist-check". This target will do the same thing as the
- 'dist' target but also test that distribution to make sure it works. This

- needs to be done on each target platform.
