In addition to all the arguments already said in this thread, I would also mention that building from ’git-fetch’ source code removes an indirection when the source code disappears from its original location. I mean, it’s easier to replace an URL and/or reconstruct a flat repository that matches than to rebuild a compressed tarball; as Disarchive is doing. Cheers, simon
