Hmmm fdbasecd sources should already be in fdbasews? The fdfullcd contains base sources plus many extra binary apps as far as I remember, whose sources in turn are included in the fdfullws which is very big. > Or, I see there is discussion in your bugzilla about including the > FreeDOS source in the SRPM, which also makes sense to me. > > I would be ok with either option, I think - so long as source somehow > is made available to users, under the GNU GPL. Actually a tarball with only the source zips taken from a suitable one of our 1.0 ISOs should already be good enough to put in a SRPM file if you ask me :-).
