I've finally gotten around to removing autogenerated files from the
Mercurial repo. Would anyone like to help me sanity-check the result?
I've put up a dry run of a source distribution here:
http://www.impredicative.com/ur/urweb-test.tgz
It would be great if some folks could try building and installing from
that tarball and let me know how it goes.
Also, the public Mercurial repository should now omit all autogenerated
files. It would be helpful to hear from people who manage to build and
install from fresh clones of that repo, which lives at:
http://hg.impredicative.com/urweb
If you notice any autogenerated files that still appear in a fresh
clone, I'd be very glad to hear about them.
I think it's about time for a new Ur/Web release, so I'd also be
interested to hear about any last important changes (not just about the
issue in the subject of this message) that I've missed. Thanks!

It does not currently work, failing with "cp: cannot create regular
file `urweb-20120925 + c8ecea593347 tip/m4/ax_check_openssl.m4': No
such file or directory". However, when it works, it automatically
includes a number of common autogenerated files, including "configure".

A few people have suggested changing the Ur/Web repository so that
autogenerated files like 'configure' are not included. There's a

Here's my question, which is about an issue not addressed directly
in the text of that "bug report": What would be the best way to
package a version control snapshot as a source distribution?
Right now, I use the 'hg archive' command, which builds a tarball
directly from the repository. There is no need to worry about
accidentally including generated files that should not be
distributed. Would it be necessary to get much fancier, with a
'tar' filename blacklist or whitelist, if I want to distribute a
generated 'configure' file along with other sources drawn directly
from the repo?
