Hi developers,

An update on this. With some help from Mathieu and J=FCrg, we've figured =

out how to generate tarballs. You need to use a combination of `bst =

workspace open` and `bst shell --build`. Then once you enter the bst =

shell, you can generate a tarball normally (mkdir build; cd build; =

meson ..; ninja; ninja dist) and it will be generated in the workspace. =

This is actually pretty simple; I had gotten confused earlier today =

because I had forgotten the --build flag to `bst shell`.

Unfortunately, I discovered a bug that's a blocker for Epiphany [1], so =

it might not work for you in practice. We'll evaluate later this week =

whether we'll need to recommend switching back to JHBuild to generate =

tarballs for the time being, or whether we can get this working =

reliably.

Thanks for your patience,

Michael
