Vala programs and compiling from source

[Rahul Sundaram]

Hi,

I recently submitting Deja-dup, a backup program written in Vala for
review at

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=540761

Vala is described in more detail at http://live.gnome.org/Vala. Deja-dup
like many Vala programs include both the Vala source code and the C
"source code" to avoid a build time requirement of Vala and also because
Vala is still in a rapidly evolving stage.  Do I need to build from the
original Vala source code or can I consider the machine generated C as
"source"?
