I agree with that. I do not personally need launchpad to make the
tarball... it just seems like there are steps (specifically related to
adding branch tags) that could be automated/
However- fwiw of course, I did receive a gripe from a github user that
"in github I can tag a release and it'll make a tarball for me" ... of
course, what they meant was a tarball of the git tree, rather than
running any commands.
I have no idea why anyone would want this, but whatever.
