Never? I don't really see the point of putting a tar ball of all the
source code from applications/ etc/ and libraries/ on ftp. Seems crazy
since most people are interested in a particular application not the
whole source set. (the starjava tar ball has compiled code)
We should be providing anonymous CVS access for these interested people.
I don't think many beta testers will be interested in building the whole
thing themselves. The mac users want a simple disk image to download.
I don't think we should open up anon cvs access until
1. make world actually works (maybe it does now?)
2. We can build figaro (which is required for convert)
3. Someone has tried the build on solaris (who is responsible for this?)
4. Things at least build for us (eg init package needs some tweaking)
Beta testers will generally want to test functionality and most won't be
interested in porting to a new operating system. Most linux users will
just get the standard ISO image.
