There is no complete source tree period anywhere and never has been.

Tomsrtbt is not a single entity (sourcewise), and it is only maintained
and created as a set of component parts. The build for tomsrtbt is only
the buildit.s script and the unpack.s scripts included, it is just self
contained on itself.  It is kept as a tree here exactly in the form you
get when you run unpack.s.  Tomsrtbt as a whole is not unified into the
sum of its parts under the GPL, it is only covered as a whole by the so
called flower-box in the FAQ (do read the FAQ).

Of course, many of those parts are covered by the GPL, and so, if you ask
me for the source tree for libc-5.4.13 or the source for ls, I will steer
you to the appropriate archive site and/or help as necessary to make sure
you get what you need.  The .diff files for everything I have modified is
posted to the ftp.toms.net/rb/add-ons directory, and the FAQ lists all of
the locations where I got source.  There really should only be a need for
source directly from me if you need the exact same version of something I
have and can't find it elsewhere- for example, you may need the fileutils
version 3.12 instead of the available 3.16 (for some bizaare reason), and
in that case you might need to get it from me instead of the archive site.

Let me know what you need (in the form of "I need the source for the 'ls'
program included on tomsrtbt"), or if you have any more questions or need
any more help.

Also, if you do create a big Makefile that will rebuild tomsrtbt from
source, I would be glad to put it in the contrib directory on my site
to make it easier for anyone else who wants for some reason to do big
everything rebuilds.
