Re: [Opencd-devel] Source

[David I. <ill...@bi...>]

Do *we* even need to host it. If we are just re-distributing binaries,
can we not just point the user to whatever mechanism e.g. mozilla.org
has for getting source? I FULLY support source code distribution, but
this would probably be the easiest way for all concerned and might save
a fair bit of bandwidth that could be offloaded to the project which may
benefit from its use.

Just a suggestion.
