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:
The upstream tarball has been repacked without the 'bundles' subdirectory, which contains redundant copies of some libraries, to avoid shipping some non-DFSG-compliant bits (see the gmp package) and having to include the copyright information and licenses of those libraries.
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.

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...
