Not realy an option for many people. Best way is to have a friend download it for you.
I haven't seen a LUG in my life. As for friends, I'm the technical one of my group...
Still leaves the question if there should be an ISO with sources at all. I don't believe so. Some might use one or a few sourcescodes from selected programs, but not enough to warrant a full source ISO download.
I agree there. If I want a full copy of the sources, and I have to download it, I'd be happy to download the appropiate ftp tree, and create a dvd out of it, for backup. There is no need to have a iso image in the servers and duplicate the space. Of course, I suppose somebody could create a jigdo so that the dvd could be made if needed :-?
The main exception is perhaps the kernel source. Put the in the boxed set and people with slow downloads already have that biggest part that they might need. People who are willing to download the ISO, also are able to download the files as is.
No, because the kernel sources we need are provided as a normal rpm. There is another source rpm that is used to create the former one. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEaPpdtTMYHG2NR9URAkrgAJ0fNmgBDKLBxpEHGuQ+Vb62wWIVjQCaAnwF RAC3T2JcDJMB5wXpXI54KaA= =LJdG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
