Comment (by aagbsn):

 Replying to [comment:19 lunar]:
 > Why does a `Makefile` (which unless for very specific corner cases is
 used to ''build'' stuff) gets installed as part of the `data` directory?

 Ah, if you take a look at the makefile, you'll see that it goes off and
 retrieves the maxmind GeoIP databases we use. They're not added to our git
 repository because they are large, but should be downloaded as part of
 ooniprobe's install process. Should these files be downloaded and added to
 the sdist? The files are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-
 ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License, so we'd just need to update our LICENSE
 file if we wanted to distribute these files too. Even so, the files are
 roughly 12MB compressed. Thoughts?

 > The `component.json` and `.bowerrc` are files that are used to manage
 the JS embedded libraries. How can they be relevant outside of the
 canonical Git repository?

 Ah, I wasn't aware of what their purpose was. I have edited the
 MANIFEST.in to exclude those files.
