And sdist orig tarballs are too big, because they contains prebuild things, FTP masters are not happy. (Thomas words). Context: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/openstack-devel/2017-July/ 021447.html ... I've been already flamed by the FTP masters because small packages like nova-compute-* became insanely huge (ie: megs instead of kbytes). ... I consider git repository to be better source of "source code" than sdist, which is built from that same git. But it's just about POV :). -- Best regards Ondřej Nový Email: n...@ondrej.org PGP: 3D98 3C52 EB85 980C 46A5 6090 3573 1255 9D1E 064B
