That's definitely not a hill to die on for me :) So all in all I think you're right, we agree on the important things: 1. Remove generated files from git 2. Keep them in source packages What we seem to disagree on is that we should have a narrower list of acceptable re2c versions determined by configure/makedist. This isn't a hill to die on for me either, although I think that narrowing it down is better in terms of our ability to deliver a source package with confidence, and be sure that everyone who's testing/using it is testing the same thing (similar to how we do it with bison). Arguably it's more important to be on the safe wide with makedist than it is with configure. Thanks, Zeev
