The binary package in debs/ is an aggregate work of, (apparently), libgpod and the scripts and control files used to build a binary package. We don't have the source for the packaging, and we don't have the source for libgpod, (at least not for that version). The source may be out there somewhere, but it's not in Debian and it isn't in this package. -- Eric Evans eevans@sym-link.com
