Provide tarballs created with "make dist" #11

Open sergiopasra opened 5 years ago

sergiopasra commented 5 years ago

The source code in Releases is just the compressed state of the git repository. If a user tries to install that, the full autotools stack is needed to regenerate the configure script with autogen.sh. I suggest that after the release is generated, a new file should be added to assets by running

autogen.sh && make distcheck

...rather autogen.sh should be removed and replaced by calling autoreconf -i -f -s ...

I think there is no problem in keeping autogen.sh in the source tree, but the results of running it should also be included, so a user can compile the code without installing autotools.

No, this should not be included in the repository. Yes, this should be included in release tarballs.
