Oh, you are talking about compiling! The difficulty does not comes from how the source code is archived. It comes from the fact that you must first install the compilation chain, find the dependencies of the program you build, read README or INSTALL files to know how to build the program and its dependencies, etc. That is definitely not easy. But most users only need to stick to what is in Trisquel's repository, more than 40,000 packages!
