That's true for something that uses e.g. autoconf, but moreutils doesn't build any makefile or configure script, it's right there in the Git repository. So I see what your objection is for packages in general, but it doesn't apply in this case.
- davexunit 12y agoWe package moreutils in GNU Guix, and it's much more preferable to download a source tarball than have to clone a git repo, so we download the tarball from Debian. We clone the git repo when there's no other choice, but it's far from ideal.
