Ummm... It does. If you'd actually read the release announcements, you'd
know that we insert a tarball as of a few releases ago. From the 1008
changelog:

- First build to have its source code inserted along with the binary for
  the auto-updater. You can get the binary and the source, on freenet,
  from the following keys:

(If you find this key, the keys are blown)

I might move the above to update-source-1008 for consistency reasons in future
(better compatibility with USKs), but if I do it will be announced with the
build affected.

I didn't reply to the thread because my Frost was broken due to a DDA issue.

Ummm, like Christmas? I took some time off for xmas, and that dragged out a
bit because of hardware upgrades, mythtv, and a bug of the biological variety
(which are common during the winter months).

First I've heard of it. Pupok (his girl) would probably like to know too!

Source? I can't believe that even George Bush would be so idiotic as to quote
Hitler. Parallel evolution I suppose...
