Weird. I did not even try to click from the browser; I just copy-pasted the URL to a wget and it worked... > The question is if we are allowed to redistribute the tarballs? > Otherwise we should set WF111_REDISTRIBUTE = NO > > Do you use this package? No I'm not, I was just fed up with it because of that stupid click-wrap login page. So, when I noticed Julien updated the homepage, I took the oportunity to check if the archives still required login. Nope, so I updated the package. > Looking at the .mk file we have this comment: > > # Due to the stupidity of the package Makefile, we can't invoke > # separately the build step and the install step and get a correct > # behavior.

I have not even had a cursory look at it, to be honest. I just checked that the download for the three archives (armv5, armv7 and x86) was working OK. Someone that is atcually interested in that package would have to look at it further... Regards, Yann E.
