We have several options: - do nothing - ship a generated SOURCES file which contains git URLs and commit hashes, rely on the interested user to fetch and build. Also tag the submodules appropriately. - fetch the submodules and include them in the tarball - build separate tarballs for the submodules Since packages are few I favour the second option, which is easiest for me. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function
