The source is not, and is not required to be, distributed anywhere but the source package. The source package will always be available through http://snapshot.debian.org/ if nowhere else. I have already checked, it is there. One possibility, is to rebuild these files from source, and then delete both the source and the results. It is a monument to absurdity, but it satisfies all formal requirements, and may be the easiest choice. I guess I will have to choose between that and a dfsg project. I will decide later. -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott@BlackPatchPanel.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.free.blackpatchpanel.com/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117
