Bundles
To avoid freeness issues etc., I would be very happy if there were a
variant of the Pike source tarball without bundled libraries. From
debian/copyright:

In any case, why is there both a libffi-3.0.4.tar.gz and its unpacked
contents?

actually, i'd like to see that from a simple packaging perspective.
the bundles will never be used in linux distribution packages, because
we'll always have seperate packages for those anyways.
a tarball without bundles would be smaller and thus more convenient to
use.

I think that is a mistake; the tar gets unpacked when building Pike,
and then it seems that "make export" has included it. A fix of
bin/export.pike would be in order.

Well, I can make a second "unbundled" package as part of the uploading
process to pelix since I have that scripted now anyway. Could you
check if just removing the bundles directly works?

That missfeature in bin/export.pike has been fixed now.

that would be very nice.

you mean by removing the bundles from the current tarball and building
the package from that? i suppose magnus already did that for debian.
i can try it too...
