: Faré Is it on purpose that the http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~gambit/download/gambit/v4.9/source/gambit-v4_9_... image contains the .git directory with the entire history?
: Marc Yes it is on purpose. The “-devel” tarball is for those who want to contribute to the development of Gambit. If you don’t want the git history, just get the normal tarball (without the “-devel”).
Is that the only difference? (Where is the difference documented apart from "for developers"?) Looks like I should be using the normal tarball in my Nix recipe.
