Ah, that's because the source tarballs are all kept in a lookaside
cache. Here's a quick step-by-step -- I think these are on the wiki
somewhere:
$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.fedoraproject.org:/cvs/dist co
system-config-network
$ cd devel
$ make prep # or 'make help' for some useful info
That will download the source and do the equivalent of 'rpmbuild -bp'
for that package.
Thanks for the tip Paul.
Nevertheless, this is too much work for external contributors. Usually, they
just need the pot & po files of all packages for a language.
Three suggestions then, in decreasing preference:
1. Allow anonymous access of the `translate` module from the CVS.
2. Include a link to the files in the i18n statistics page.
3. Produce a nightly public .tgz with the pot & po files for each language.
Are these too difficult to arrange?
