If there are relevant use cases without internet connectivity (I have no opinion to offer on this), then the release tarball has exactly the right contents. *Proposed action items: * *A.* Change https://github.com/sagemath/sage/blob/develop/README.md so that "git clone" is described as the primary way to obtain the Sage sources. That the big release tarball is available can be a footnote in the Installation Guide ( https://deploy-livedoc--sagemath.netlify.app/html/en/installation/source#installation-steps) for the limited no-internet connectivity use case. That's now https://github.com/sagemath/sage/pull/37309 (needs review) *B. *Likewise, get rid of all of these "Download Sage source code" pages ( https://www.sagemath.org/download-source.html, https://www.sagemath.org/download-latest.html), mirror selection, etc. from the Sage website.
