The gen_kselftest_tar.sh always packages *all* selftests and doesn't pass along any variables to `make install` to influence what should be built. This can result in an early error on the command line ("Unknown tarball format TARGETS=XXX"), or unexpected test failures as the tarball contains tests people wanted to skip on purpose.
Since the makefile already contains all the logic, we can add a target for packaging. Keep the default .gz target the script uses, and actually extend the supported formats by using tar's autodetection.
To not break current workflows, keep the gen_kselftest_tar.sh script as it is, with an added suggestion to use the makefile target instead.

I don't see this in my Inbox. Please include everybody get_maintainers script tells you to do.
You can add the Reviewed-by: Stefano Brivio sbrivio@redhat.com to the patch when you resend it.
Hi Shuah,
apologies for the complications. As Stefano said, I did indeed include you and the list in the recipients, but it looks like either a setup of our internal smtp server or my git setup refuses to send the emails out to some external recipients. Funnily enough, sending the email to my private account works fine.
I resent the patch from my private account and I can see it on the list now, please let me know there are any issues with the copy in your inbox.
Veronika
thanks, -- Shuah
