The Debian packages have always included all external source; I don't think that's necessarily the right solution for upstream (in fact, I was the one who wrote 'getsource' et al, as I recall). But when distributions ship binaries they must also be able to ship the exact source on the same media, otherwise they risk violating the GPL. And, builds need to be reproducable, so they shouldn't depend on external services that could go away. -- dann frazier ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
