I would be really happy when these git things are put into a tarball and
uploaded to ftp.archlinux.org. For AUR these git/svn/cvs checkout
packages are nice, but I dislike them for core and/or extra. We also
pull CVS for glibc and xulrunner, instead of putting those in the
PKGBUILD, we upload a tarball to FTP.


I could get the file from
http://wireless.kernel.org/download/wireless-regdb/wireless-regdb-master-2008-11-17.tar.bz2

I just found out about these snapshots by looking at the AUR (they actually split it into wireless-regdb and crda, but then there is no way to verify the regulatory.bin file. As the regulatory DB won't change too often, we can simply release a new crda package every time).

I was thinking, maybe we should verify the file again at install time and throw a warning if it doesn't check out.
