Another bad example here is the kernel, search the http://p.quinput.eu/debfarm/changelog.html file for 'kernel-diablo'. We can see only '* Updated kernel version XXX' instead of real info. So basically we are completely in the dark if new kernel actually fixes something or not. This is yet another annoyance to the fact that we still don't have updated sources in http://repository.maemo.org/pool/diablo/free for GPLed stuff updated in latest 4.2008.30-2 Diablo update. This is of course bad for any GPLed package but it causes practical problems especially for linux kernel source. There are a lot of kernel hacks in the wild and after each firmware people must choose between older customized kernel and new (possibly fixed? how can we know?) one. So will we get updated SDK release with sources for latest Diablo update (and any further one too)? Also can this whole firmware and SDK release procedure be changed so building and releasing sources is integral part of building and releasing any binary (firmware or SSU) as it is 'suggested' by GPL licence? We discussed this topic many times here with no visible change so far.
