Milind, I do hope you are not making a joke. For a distribution which has been doing releases since 2007 doesn't have a public repo it is definitely something to worry about. How as I user I am to presume or assume that there aren't any back-doors. The whole idea of providing sources is that you are able to compile the binaries if you are uneasy about something or want to compile it in a different way, with different compiler flags, add some security patches or anything else than the distro. has done. Not having sources is akin to running any Operating System, it is the same as running MS-Windows or OS X (used in Macs). Most GNU/Linux distributions have their git repos. open, so why not BOSS/C-DAC ? https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/ - Debian's public repo. Look forward to know. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8 _______________________________________________ plug-mail mailing list plug-mail@plug.org.in http://list.plug.org.in/listinfo/plug-mail
