archive.palemoon.org old sources

Unread post by Pentium4User » 2024-03-19, 13:21

Hello!
https://archive.palemoon.org/source/
includes only old versions.
It is linked here.
https://www.palemoon.org/sourcecode.shtml

Is that intended?
Is it intended to provide source tarballs again?

kind regards

Please go back to the source code page, and re-read the text there with more attention.
You'll see the source code tarballs are only for a limited number of versions. Our main source code releases can be got by using the repository. All releases are tagged there.

We primarily did those source code tarballs because the git repos were not open at one point.

If you really need a source code tarball for a newer version for some reason, though, I do actually know how they were created and could probably make one for you, personally, upon request of a specific version, if you really need one and can't use git to obtain the source for some reason. Officially, though, we aren't doing that with each release anymore, because they served their purpose and the approach of doing closed development was shown to be unsustainable, and we had to once again embrace a public git repo.

With the Athenians, the rights of the State and of the individual found as perfect a union as was possible at all at the level of the Greek spirit." -- Hegel's philosophy of Mind

git is fine, it was just a question if that was intended or an old relict.
