IIRC we were sometimes a week or more late at making the source tarball, a few times I did this and it was normally when someone complained it was missing. Probably the release was announced and a package maintained just expected the source to be available. Though I think we've been better with this in the past 1-2 years. -- - Campbell _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
