Thanks for the report. There were indeed errors in packaging; I hope to have fixed them in the master branch. Now that Google Code is no more, I do not know where to upload tarballs, so for the time being only repository checkouts are available.

@marcomaggi , github has something, though I'm not sure it works. I found the tags are archived. Go to the Code tab then click tags above the number of commits on the right. Each tag has .tar.gz that you can download, but the one I tried, tar told me it was not a valid tar file...

In the past Github had a proper download service, and I was using it, but then they nuked it (that is why I moved tarballs to Google Code). The tarballs you describe are repository snapshots; these are different from release tarballs for this project because I am not including the Autotools files in the repository (neither the file "version.texi" and similar that are generated by the Autotools).

I might open a project at GNA!, but they do not offer git repositories. Another option is SourceForge, I had an account there a long time ago...
