Fix treatment of BUILD_METADATA

2022-12-08T06:01:33Z

According to documentation [^1], the BUILD_METADATA from VERSION.dat should be prefixed with a plus sign when used. It is given this treatment in Configure, but not in all other scripts that use VERSION.dat directly. This change fixes that.

Simplify the tarball generating scripts

As per discussed in issue #12364 [1], since the format of git archive is inferred from the output file, it's safe to remove the pipe for gzip.

Change tarball making procedure

2018-11-23T11:40:32Z

Since recently, OpenSSL tarballs are produced with 'make tar' rather than 'make dist', as the latter has turned out to be more troublesome than useful. The next step to look at is why we would need to configure at all to produce a Makefile just to produce a tarball. After all, the tarball should now only contain source files that are present even without configuring. Furthermore, the current method for producing tarballs is a bit complex, and can be greatly simplified with the right tools. Since we have everything versioned with git, we might as well use the tool that comes with it. Added: util/mktar.sh, a simple script to produce OpenSSL tarballs. It takes the options --name to modify the prefix of the distribution, and --tarfile tp modify the tarball file name specifically. This also adds a few entries in .gitattributes to specify files that should never end up in a distribution tarball. Reviewed-by: Matt Caswell (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/7692)
