Hi Jiri,

I was also working on it before. My way to get the source code is to
manually generate the tarball like what trace-cmd did before.

See my copr
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/zsun/test/build/1699358/
And the spec

https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/zsun/test/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/01699358-libtraceevent/libtraceevent.spec

I haven't have time to follow-up Steven's reply of Oct 9th about the
document compiling yet. If you are willing to work on it now maybe you
can start on top of mine. Otherwise I'll follow-up the packaging
later.

HTH.
