I don't think this is usually necessary.

Well, the tarball is available with each tags. I think this is a good idea, and doesn't really cost all that much. Also, having it there facilitate building and uploading packages a lot, thanks to Ralf's nice opkg-buildpackage tool. > So, I'd propose that we move those tarballs to a dedicated > download location: alioth provides an Anonymous FTP location > which could be use for that purpose.

I don't think it would be usefull to have another repository, but maybe you could see a use for this that i don't. Friendly, Sven Luther
