What about software snapshots? We currently use www.archlinux.org/~name/mozilla/xulrunner-source-1.8.1.6.tar.bz2 for those things for example. Should we also put these snapshots in the other directory? I've seen these things disappearing from homedirs because of cleanups (gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg source was gone after arjan was degraded/promoted to a normal user)
Yep, that's exactly what I was thinking about when replying in previous thread (sorry, didn't see that this new one was created). Let's keep homedirs as playground only, while moving used in PKGBUILDs to ftp/other.
A common source directory sounds good. Even better would be to host _all_ sources for every pkg release somewhere. Harddiscs got cheap and we could solve any possible GPL violence. Some other major distribution also do that. Andy
