I thought that was the right thing, but evidently not. I think it should be the result of ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make dist which I have not uploaded - perhaps Jeremiah can do this and put it on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/denemo/ just now my internet connection has gone extremely bad - I'm hoping this email will get through, but I don't think I will be able to upload anything until the problem is fixed, which may be very difficult right now. > > The git tarball you posted IMO presents a bit of a problem > for packagers, because it doesn't supply ./configure.

Sorry for the confusion, Richard
