Dave Cinege used to post snapshots of his LRP development tree, including sources of (all?) compiled applications. Ah: I see it is still available from ftp://www.linuxrouter.org/linux-router/dists/2.9.8/source/ Personally, I don't care whether sources are provided directly or upstream as long as they are publicly accessible. Unfortunately, this is not always the case for LEAF releases, which can include binaries compiled from modified sources, where the modifications are not publicly available. -Richard ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
