Removing Mac OS X resource forks from distribution tarballs

[Adam Mercer]

Hi

When I build distribution tarballs on my Mac sometimes resource forks
find their way into the tarball and then when they are extracted on
another platform, Debian for example, these resource forks show up as
separate files of the for ._*, e.g.:

ldg-cert-util-2.5/debian# ls -la
total 68
drwxr-xr-x 2 501 staff 4096 Mar 30 09:13 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 501 staff 4096 Mar 29 20:54 ..

Is there some rule that I can add that will strip any resource forks
from files before adding them to the distribution?

Cheers
