View Full Version : why no sources cd's?


jo-jo
hello mates ,
in the destribution list , i did not find any one have cd's contain sources of applications , why donot people who got decent net connection , why they do not provide source's cd's , we ya 7abbaza law kanet updated ...
ofcourse i mean with applications , big applications that take much time to be downloaded by dial up ....more 7 mb or something ...
sources not rpms or deps , cuz i have for example 7 cd's from debian that are full of dep's that i can not use in some destributions like bsd's or lfs .
so anyone can do that , just let me know .
good bye :)

You can still get the orriginal source from the RPM and/or debs

alaa
uniball means srpms and deb source packages.

not sure if someone is distributing these either.

collecting a sources CDs and keeping it up2date would be a big task, don't we have LFS users anymore??

maybe you can get some stuff from gentoo users (many of them these days) its a source based distro afterall

cheers,
Alaa

alaa: Yes, those Gentoo users think they have it all ! The fools.

jojo: You can contact safrout on the sources CD.

I could have gave you the sources I have but they aren't up2date. So probably safrout will help you.

cheers,
