This is not sufficient. It should also change the name of the package
to REV=..._rev=...-UNCOMMITTED to make the package installable with
usual tools, but also to make it perfectly clear that it is not
committed just by looking at the file. Additionally, it would be
nice to have a "debug" mode which build only directory-packages
(as opposed to datastream-packages). Or even better to introduce
a "releasepkg" target which makes sure eveything is checked in,
builds a package and makes a copy of trunk/ to tags/.


Best regards
