[codec] Source tarball spews files all over the place

• Key: CODEC-6
• Type: Bug

Environment

Operating System: other
Platform: Other

Description

The packaging is incorrect. The files in the src tarball should
all be underneath a directory like "commons-codec-1.3-src", as is done
for the other packages.

Instead we see:

$ tar tzf commons-codec-1.3-src.tar.gz

This bug has been verified:

http://www.apache.org/dist/jakarta/commons/codec/source/commons-codec-1.3-src.tar.gz

lacks the appropriate directory structure.

The source tarball for the 1.3 source release has been repackaged, and is now
similar to other source distributions.

Thanks to David for identifying this glitch.
