Because originally libgsystem was not available in distributions (or not recent enough). That could be revised in the future, if it bothers somebody enough.
I suppose this is the git way to acquire the source code to build a local tarball, git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager cd NetworkManager/ git submodule init git submodule update ./autogen.sh cd ../ tar ...
If you want to create a source tarball, a better way might be: git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager cd NetworkManager/ ./autogen.sh --enable-gtk-doc && make && make dist I think, upstream creates it's tarball this way.
Perhaps this is the reason, however it is still a mystery why are snapshots created with a blank 'libgsystem/'!?
I don't understand which snapshots you are referring to. If you do what you said, you populate libgsystem/ before calling tar. Thomas.
