Close then free?

We do build binary packages, but not generally on my PC, instead the
builds happen on a number of buildbots, including the one at Debian.
Also, there are about 20 active developers who expect to pull the
repository from Git and have it build, and probably low-hundreds of
users who regularly build from source.

Basically, a git pull of the repository  + the listed build-time
dependencies has to build without anyone manually fetching an external
code repository.
