Though the most important distinction is that uploaded releases sometimes contain pre-processed sources (e.g. documentation) that need additional dependencies or scripts when building from the raw repository (this is why you often need to add autoconf, libtool & friends as inputs when building Autotools projects from git). I don't know whether there is a difference between the uploaded fmt zipball and the git repository. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCgAdFiEEu7At3yzq9qgNHeZDoqBt8qM6VPoFAl5iiyMACgkQoqBt8qM6 VPpSQwf+Mfy9INaAYzz+eKEyhTrbrHit/yFC1oTmImKQAsjxqf6kp78SUMRaDJ3a znjo0DMMV78sygTJhayP+1+3hDtWkSweYeoQvuMeWPqwkUj18Vm9+mo676Ne1wMr ZRyFIy9JI2LCvKZN79Nc/8c7OWKF327IDhFNSIYEg7PC9j5LQQTKd6zyY+U9KK7C gfyPFj08x1/tqQDPav5JfNg5CcQGfIgs2kXKrfCFT9sHdcG9WkNUDhwprVDKsoPa jKTcP811PkCd63hpvr6YKnlQTuaqlFHdail1G4+ElDXKLledJibFb8g0VV5FsvpL 27epub2yuVHe4F4bPnqnsUy04kPjKw== =e2zu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
