Probably this is not done because nobody has asked for it since we moved over to Git.
Could this be considered as a request for it?

| Description |
|
Traditionally, open source software are distributed thanks to compressed tarball and optionally with some binary packages. The packages used the official tarball as source of truth. For some reason, no tarball is available on downloads.whamcloud.com and it could be interesting to provide one along with the various distribution packages, instead of relying on git clone + autogen.sh to get a working source tree. This will make installation instruction easier too.
Is there another reason I missed which prevents providing this tarball? |
