I've started a new project in git and use ./autogen.sh and xfce4-dev-tools to generate configure script and others files.
I'm wondering if it's a bad idea to only provide git release or I need to create dist tarball also?

A distribution tarball is easier to use but possibly limited to a certain Linux distribution and sometimes even to a certain version of said distribution.
autogen.sh
makes things more flexible but at the cost of needing a more complex setup before you can use your project.My approach to this problem is to have a script which
I use the same script to build the dist tarballs, so the script is a) useful and b) executed often to keep it healthy.
