Hi,

Since the release of version 5.0, the Sourceforge files page no
longer contains a working source code release. The _src_ tarball
contains a few random binaries, not the source code. I'm not sure why
this is. Prior to version 5.0, the source was readily available for
download.

Meanwhile, most development appears to be happening over on Github:
https://github.com/benini/scid

However, there has been no official announcement to this effect as
far as I know. Nothing on the project's website points to Github as
an authoritative source for the project. This leaves distribution
packagers in a bit of a pickle, since there's no way (short of
cloning the project and checking out the release commit) of getting
the source code for releases from Sourceforge.

Could active Scid developers reach out and confirm the project's
status, and add a "development" link to the project website if future
work is to be conducted on Github?

Alternatively, if Sourceforge is to remain the authoritative home of
the project, could the issue affecting the source code tarballs be
fixed?

FYI the "contacts" link on the web site also 404s currently.

Best regards,
Adam Fontenot
