 emily | FWIW, GitHub can serve .tar.gz archives, not just .zip. so I think in the case of xz an unforced error on our part, rather than a necessary compromise | 15:19:14 |
| emily | (though it could be we were doing it precisely because we can't autoreconfHook at that point) | 15:19:49 |
| emily | (but at least archive format isn't an issue) | 15:19:54 |

(though it could be we were doing it precisely because we can't autoreconfHook at that point) Yes you are right I wanted to add this precision but I forgot | 15:27:01 |
| emily | I really appreciate the post though. I want to fetchFromGitHub more things :) | 15:28:59 |
| Julien | Thank you ! I tried to add a little precision about being xz purely from source being more complex than just being able to unzip the archive :) | 16:00:36 |
