It's kind of an informal policy here at the ASF that "source release" means "all source needed to build on all supported platforms, except third-party dependencies". :) Which reminds me that we should consider stopping releasing a separate Windows zip file, with different contents and different line endings ourselves. If it's only an issue of unzip being more common on windows than tar+gunzip, then we can do the same as with tar.gz and tar.bz2 -- just package the same tree in a different archive format. -- Brane -- Branko Čibej Director of Subversion | WANdisco | www.wandisco.com
