Comment (by jackburton):
Replying to [comment:8 pulkomandy]:
> For distribution of the release CDs, we need the sources of all bundled
packages to be on the CD (this is the simplest way to ensure GPL
compliance). Or, we need to build a GPL-free version of Haiku for the
releases and not include any GPL sourcecode, which would be not so nice
(no NTFS support for example).
This is simply not true. There is no need to include the source code on
the CD, it simply needs to be available "on request". That means having it
available on our repositories is just fine.
> I don't know if this needs source install to also work with pkgman, but
it would be nice to have that as well for symetry. Wether it has to be a
beta1 blocker is open to debate, however.
Having the source packages listed in haikudepot but not installable is not
nice.
So either we should filter out the source packages, or fix their
installation. Of course, I have no idea how much work it is to fix that.
