> Yes, but it's not really said that this is "version 0.2". It looks like
it's just a snapshot of the bitbucket repository. Unless you know for sure
that this is really version 0.2, use a date `libfes-20140427` (the date of
the files in the tarball) as version number. Do you feel like asking
upstream about this?
I compared the files and it matched the latest commit so I figured it was
the latest snapshot. I could also check with upstream.

> No, the proper way to generate source tarball using autotools is to run
`make dist`. So you should somehow get the correct source tarball, build
it (in whatever way, using `autoreconf` if needed) on your own system, and
run `make dist`. This command will generate a tarball which is meant to be
used as source tarball.
Running `make dist` fails and I don't quite understand the error message:
{{{
~/tmp/sources/fes$ make dist
make dist-gzip am__post_remove_distdir='@:'
make[1]: Entering directory '/projects/330d780d-8c93-4e93-9e4b-
bfb04951901a/tmp/sources/fes'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'configfsf.guess', needed by
'distdir'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/projects/330d780d-8c93-4e93-9e4b-
bfb04951901a/tmp/sources/fes'
Makefile:600: recipe for target 'dist' failed
make: *** [dist] Error 2
}}}
I will email upstream (he was the original author of this ticket actually)
and see if he knows how to fix this. Otherwise it will probably take me a
few days to figure out this error. I thought since this was an optional
and experimental package that requiring `autoreconf` was not so terrible.
