What do you find clumsy about it? I like it. Whether I have a script that does a svn co or a wget (for other products), either is faster than manually downloading.

I find it the easiest and fastest manner. -----Original Message----- From: news [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of wolfgang Sent: Tuesday, July 05, 2005 4:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: where's the source code package?
