I did not perceive "please make a tarball of this" as being complicated.
So at least from my point of view, there is no need to make this easier.

Agreed. I will keep hoping that I won't lose my sanity again ;-)

I've re-build Poke (459cc34f, using jitter 7f67aa43):
The good news is that jitter builds, but libpoke now fails. I'll follow
up an this on #poke (and probably on poke-devel).

I am genuinely impressed by how fast you solved this issue. Your

thank you again!
