Re: Source Packages (v3)

[Chris Baines <cbaines8@gmail.com>]

Those source archives are used to build a toolchain capable of compiling
firmware for the Lego Mindstorms NXT. Its critical both for support
reasons and for practical size issues that I use the exact same method
to compile the device firmware as upstream. Upstream deliberately uses
specific versions of the source archives mentioned as this produces
better results for there specific project. For those reasons I think its
better in this case to build the source package to include the relevant
source archives.
