Hi Diego, I need a clarification on something.

What is your feeling about projects that use tags in their source repositories and have a way to build the tarball directly from the repository? e.g. for openrc, if you have a clone of the repository you can do: git checkout [tag] make dist and you will have the same tarball that we released. What about things hosted on github? I am upstream for some code hosted there and they prefer that you do not upload source tarballs, but use tags in your repository which will automatically be propegated to your downloads page. Your input would be appreciated. William
