be run either on Unix or using Cygwin on Windows. To generate a release, simply
run the following command:
build/tools/create-archive.py --compression=all /path/to/output/dir
This will produce zip, gzip and bzip archives of the tree.
This will produce zip, gzip and bzip archives of the tree (without
"compression" argument only .gz is made). Note that this commands produces huge
amounts of output so redirecting it to a file is recommended.
To add a prefix to the release, such as RC1, the SVN revision, or a date, just pass --postfix="postfix" to the script. More info on the options and their possible values can be found by calling `create-archive.py --help`.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You *must* run this script from a clean source tree, that is, with no junk files in it or modifications. This is because the release should be a pristine copy of the tree as of the time of release. If you have legitimate modifications in the tree that need to be in the release, commit them first.
