--- Comment #4 from Forest forestcode@ixio.org ---
You only need the source code to make the program, and that's available.
None of winehq's packages are accompanied by a statement identifying the git changeset or build configuration options required to make the packaged program. Without those things, you're expecting a user who wants to modify what you sent him to first find a needle in a haystack and reverse engineer the build. So, I suppose you might be technically correct in saying that the source code is "available", in the same sense that one Mr. Prosser was correct in a certain novel.
“But the plans were on display…” “On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.” “That’s the display department.” “With a flashlight.” “Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.” “So had the stairs.” “But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?” “Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”
I'd be in favor for making the build process transparent, too.
Cheers.
