Please Klaus find some time to update them. I think spending 1 or 2 hour to do it after every release is not that difficult

Sorry, I'm currently in active search to find a new location to host the
source archive, because it cannot stay at the LinuxTag office. Same
applies to the mailing list, but this list can and will be transferred
to an "official" debian mailserver soon. I will write an announcement in
time. No action required yet.

You are absolutely right, the sources on developer.linuxtag.net are
terribly outdated, not only but also because I don't have access to the
server anymore. I'm still sending the sources of each Knoppix version to
everyone who sends me a return envelope with an empty DVD-R, to be
compliant with the GPL. But hopefully we will also find an official
download server for the source archive anytime soon, to make things
easier (for me and everyone who wants to get the sources a quicker way
other than snail mail).

With kind regards
