## Building a Ruby Tarball

Downstream distributors should use the official release tarballs as part of their build process. This ensures that the tarball is created in a consistent way, and that the tarball is crytographically verified.
## Building a Ruby Package
Most distributions have a tool to build packages from a tarball. For example, Debian has `dpkg-buildpackage` and Fedora has `rpmbuild`. These tools will take the tarball and build a package for the distribution.
```bash
$ pkgver=3.1.3
$ curl https://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/${pkgver%.*}/ruby-${pkgver}.tar.xz --output ruby-${pkgver}.tar.xz
$ tar xpvf ruby-${pkgver}.tar.xz
$ cd ruby-${pkgver}
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
```
