I don't understand the rationale behind this change request either. If you need the contents of the tarballs in order to distribute AA on Debian, then why don't you use the tarballs? Checking generated files into the Git repository serves no purpose, IMHO, since those files can be generated simply by running make maintainer-all all. Could you please elaborate your intentions in slightly more detail?

The subject of this request seems particularly ironic.  Including generated files in a version control repository is a well-established bad thing to do, so I don't see any reason for autoconf archive to do so.

Roucaries, can you just build from the released .tar.gz?  If not, you'll need to run the same steps that the AA maintainers do to build the files contained in the .tar.gz.  If you're having trouble with that, we may be able to help.

Hi,

I am trying to repackage new version of autoconf-archive for debian. I will like to use git to track you.

Unfortunatly I is really hard to do. You do not put every file that are in .tar.gz in the git repositionnery.

Could you create a branch each time you create a new package and committing the content of .tar.gz ?

Thank you
