Pomme library missing from source tarball

[ii8]

The source release files are just the auto generated ones from github so these do not contain the Pomme library. The pomme library itself can't be packaged because there are no versioned releases. Would you be willing to add a tarball to the releases that includes both the game and the Pomme source already in the extern folder so this game can be packaged for linux distributions?

Alternatively a release of Pomme could be made.

Of course this applies to your other ports as well, personally I'm interested in packaging bugdom and nanosaur 2.

Pomme is meant to be statically linked. Each game embeds it as a git submodule set to the exact commit that the game needs. For example Bugdom has Pomme at ef94150 right now (see here)

Can your packaging system clone the repository along with its submodules, i.e. git clone --recurse-submodules?

Git is not used, but yes it's technically possible because github allows downloading archives of specific commits, but it won't be accepted by distribution maintainers. They want a release. So either the pomme commit ef94150 has to be tagged and released as "pomme-for-bugdom-1.3.4" or something, or the source tarball of bugdom has to contain that pomme code.

Really github should include submodule source in the automatic tarballs, I wonder if there is a setting to enable that.

But you know what, I will try it and see if it gets accepted.

Let me know, if your distro won't accept this solution then I can cut a release for Pomme.
