I noticed this week that a new pymol 0.99rc8
version was released but starting with that
version no source tarball would be made available
on pymol.sourceforge.net. Rather users will have
to manually access the source via svn in an effort
to limit the ease of packaging this open source
software.
I am conflicted on this since I understand
Warren's effort to limit the effect of the
open source pymol on his support license sales.
However it somewhat defies the definition of
open source to limit the access like this.
How do the other fink developers feel we should
proceed? I suppose we could adjust the fink
packaging to no longer use a source tarball
but to use svn to download the particular
release branch and purge the .svn files out
to create a proper source tree. Any suggestions?
