Eliminated the need for the `.tar.tstamp` files. It became intractable
to produce a tarball that was byte-for-byte identical to a tarball
on another platform. We further simplified the process used by the
`bin/tar-year.sh` tool to no longer need `.tar.tstamp` files.
Removed `.tar.tstamp` files and updated the manifest.
Sorry (tm Canada 🇨🇦) for the "flip-flop".
The `bin/tar-year.sh` tool now uses a similar algorithm to how
`bin/tar-entry.sh` determines if a compressed tarball needs to be
rebuilt.
Changed `bin/tar-entry.sh` VERSION from "1.3.3 2024-03-27"
to "1.3.4 2024-03-27".
Changed `bin/tar-year.sh` VERSION from "1.1.3 2024-03-27"
to "1.2 2024-03-27".
Performed `make www` and `make form_entry_tarball`
and `make form_year_tarball` to complete the above
actions and test these changes under macOS.
TODO: Test the `bin/tar-year.sh` tool under Linux.
TODO: Address issues with building the top level `ioccc.tar.bz2`
and the `bin/tar-all.sh` tool and the `make form_all_tarball` rule.
NOTE: The `bin/tar-all.sh` tool and the `make form_all_tarball` rule
and the `make tar` should **NOT** be used at this time.
These `.tar.tstamp` files will be used, along with the entry
`.tar.tstamp` files, to form compressed tarballs that
can be reproduced exactly the same way, down to the byte,
under both macOS and Linux.
Stay tuned ... :-)
A _YYYY/.filelist_ is a simple list of files for a given IOCCC year
that need to be present when building a _YYYY_ level compressed
tarball. The list is relative to _docroot_ (top level repo directory).
We do not need a complex JSON file for such a simple list of files.
We only care about checking for the existence of files when forming
_YYYY_ level compressed tarball.
