That should be doable. OTOH I'm wondering whether we should keep the copyleft tarballs at Apache Extras - it would allow to still build with them (something that can be done outside the ASF infrastructure and is still appreciated (if I understood correctly). > 3) We should probably move some of the stuff in soltools > there too (mkdepend). That's something for later, ATM we should move the ext_src stuff into a secure place. If nobody else wants to do it, I can invest some time into that, but it might take some days. It seems that the consensus is that we check in the binary tarballs into trunk/ext_sources?! Regards, Mathias
