What is your feeling about projects that use tags in their source |
| 14 |
repositories and have a way to build the tarball directly from the |
| 15 |
repository? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
e.g. for openrc, if you have a clone of the repository you can do: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
git checkout [tag] |
| 20 |
make dist |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
and you will have the same tarball that we released. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
What about things hosted on github? I am upstream for some code hosted |
| 25 |
there and they prefer that you do not upload source tarballs, but use |
| 26 |
tags in your repository which will automatically be propegated to your |
| 27 |
downloads page. |

Your input would be appreciated. |
