If people want to do this, they *are* able to: all they need is checking out the CVS, which contains the debian dirs. If they want to make debs from snapshots, they can get the source package from the debian archive, as all the libs available as snapshots and e17 are in there. > It is very wrong (also IMHO) for the Debian developers to make it > difficult on those people just to make it easier on themselves. > Well, if those packages are in Debian, all you need to do is basically run 'apt-get source foobar" to get the source and the debian directory, so it's not really difficult.
