That's why I meant when I said finding the build instructions was trivial enough that I thought it should not block a release.
The README contains a clear link to the Documentation (which is a link to a local file), and that file is a very comprehensive index with direct links to architecture, testing, building, etc. Even if the compiling link is broken it is so trivial to find the build instructions that I find the comment "unable to build from source" a bit strict. I mean, people used to build from source often have a file describing the typical "./configure && make && make install", and often have to spend some time reading through the different configure options to properly configure the software for their platform. It is OK and usually assumed that building from source will get some time, and I find this concrete case to be very trivial. It is just an inconvenient broken link, that has a proper replacement that is trivial to find. This said, (and I'm asking for some advice here as it's the first project I help mentoring) I think we should not block the release for this reason and I'd vote +1, but I don't know if the IPMC vote is more targetted to non-mentors, which could have a potentially different perspective of the project just by overseeing it from the distance.
