> The THANKS rules are a bodge and need to be fixed.
> Additionally, attempting to build a distribution from a distribution will fail because there is no Git directory.
> This also means that THANKS.gz is not rebuilt properly.
> For now, until this is fixed, all distributions should be prepared from a pristine source.
> The proper way to do this is to build this file during the bootstrap.
