There *is* a reason for the way it was done. For packages used in the bootstrap, we store the source file in fink's SF.net file release section, both to make sure it is continuously available for bootstrapping and also to have a location we control which can supply the source per GPL rules. I've added the latest bzip2 source file to our SF.net file releases, and will soon revert this package to its original form. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
