I've been working on getting source code to base programs and 
recompiling them - and also keeping source code around, separating it 
into base and packages and archives - like this:

/pub/oxygen/base
/pub/oxygen/archives
/pub/oxygen/packages

Are you interested in these?  Where do I put them?

The archives directory includes all of the base archives with their 
diff files included.  That is, the archives are:

package-version-XTRAS.tar.gz

...like...

busybox-0.80pre-CVS.tar.gz

and so on; the archives are either the regular distribution or 
contain:

original.tar.gz
debian.diff
LRP.diff

and so on.  Many are Debian packages; these contain the Debian diff 
and a second, LRP, diff if necessary.

Does this suit?  Not going to cause any problems?

The Debian packages are either from Potato sources or Woody sources, 
depending on whether I could get it to compile or not.  After a while 
I began to favor Potato sources for base system archives (like 
netkit, etc.) since the Woody versions didn't necessarily compile.
