Hi Pierre,

You can browser our source code without downloading it here:
http://genome-source.cse.ucsc.edu/gitweb/?p=kent.git;a=tree

The best way to notify us of a possible bug is via this mailing list 
([email protected]). For suspected bugs regarding mirroring the 
browser, use the mirror mailing list ([email protected]).

One of our engineers has provided feedback regarding your two concerns:

* in 'src/hg/lib/liftOver.c' liftOverRemapRange alloc some memory (cloneString) 
but it is not released at the end of the caller, 'liftOverGff'

We are concerned with memory leaks in critical loops, but there are many 
other memory leaks that we don't worry about.

* compiling crash when it tries to install something in a protected apache 
directory

You need to have permissions to write in the Apache hierarchy, htdocs 
and cgi-bin directories. It will not work if you attempt to run 'sudo 
make install' (as you would normally do for ordinary open source 
projects) because our source build requires a number of shell 
environment variables which do not survive the transition to the new 
sudo shell. Therefore, our recommended method of installation is to 
'chown <userName>' for the apache htdocs and cgi-bin directories and 
then run our 'make install' since you own the directories.

Please contact the mail list ([email protected]) again if you have any 
further questions.
