Thats... something you don't see everyday. Why would you do that? It's quite common for Java projects to release pre-built JAR files or for C/C++ (or other) based projects to release debs or rpms - it's standard practice. What's important in quoted sentence is: "Release the source archives along with binary archives" - the "with" is very important - in short: don't release only binary versions and force us to grab them from VCS. -- Krzysztof Pawlik <nelchael at gentoo.org> key id: 0xF6A80E46 desktop-misc, java, apache, ppc, vim, kernel, python...
