Ok Novell/SuSE,
Let's get it together!  I'll not rehash the discussion of the sources in 
the boxed edition of SuSE or the minor mention of said sources.  That 
discussion has concluded with the hope of better and more visible 
indications that sources are available?

I do want to mention though the incredible lack of mention it receives 
on the opensuse sites.  I came to this conclusion while looking for the 
source file to the libgimpprint file.  Which I might add, still have 
not found.  The only thing I found on the opensuse site after much 
searching was one hotlink on one of the pages!  It could be easily 
overlooked, since it was clumped in with so many other items.

Does Novell not want us to know about the source files?  Why the 
seemingly secrecy and general lack of info about the sources?  Why are 
some source files missing?  Aren't all the sources for all the files 
included on the DVD boxed set suppose to be available?

I guess it's possible the file I'm searching for is grouped within 
another source file, I don't know, I haven't dug that deeply yet, but 
the fact remains, sources are difficult to find and even more difficult 
to learn they are available!

A lot of changes with Novell's purchase, some have me worried.
