Spinning the source tarball by hand is not an exactly nice experience ;-) Also keeping the images in git (those that go into the package) is better than having everything stored on my notebook (note that the images in the packages aren't taken directly from wiki, but also resized/cropped to have all the same sizes). Another thing is, that if we would do the wallpaper in inkscape or blender, we could generate the PNGs/JPGs during the package build. And git (or another SCM) is a nice way for keeping a log of changes that are done to the sources from which we build. And of course its much more transparent ;-) Martin
