Sorry, Artem> may be you explained, but I forgot. You mean why don't I just checkout from git and make a tarball myself? Tarballs are pretty much the standard for source releases, and source-based metadistributions (like Buildroot that I maintain) normally are optimized for tarballs rather than semi-random git snapshots (E.G. mirroring, automatic handling, ..). And then there's the issue about people checking the ftp and not noticing that there's actually a new stable release out instead of the old 1.3.1 -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
