Re: Flexbar source code? (Was: feature request)
debian in general likes there to be official releases. A lot of the packaging tools are designed around tracking specific versioned tarballs. to make releases repeatable there needs to at least be tagged versions. Though tarballs would be better.

This is how I got the sources I'm using on our Bio-Linux server in
Edinburgh.

Well, since it's me who wants to package their software for Debian-Med
and Bio-Linux I think I should make the effort to smooth things along!

Indeed, I'm looking forward to the meeting!
