Paul,
The "open source" was much easier to obtain from 20.04.04 backwards, since one could get the whole .ZIP or .TAR file in a single download. After that, it was split up into its smallest pieces so that you were limited in the options available for downloading the complete source code.
"They" say it was handled this way for support reasons, but I believe it was more about keeping people from having an easy access to the code. Otherwise "they" would still offer a recent .ZIP file version.
Why are you reluctant to use an SVN client to download the complete source code from the SVN repository? What am I missing? Jonathan
