Oh, in that case, the eventual home for source packages will be:

ftp://familiar.handhelds.org/familiar/releases/stable/source/

but there's nothing there yet.

Many of the packages in familiar were assembled from the
corresponding binary packages from Debian/arm. You can tell which
packages by looking for a "Debian-Maintainer" field in
/usr/lib/ipkg/available. Naturally, Debian hosts source packages for
all of these, (although we should probably start hosting these as
well). Most of the non-Debian packages have source code hosted in
handhelds.org CVS. For any package that doesn't fall into one of those
categories, someone here should have a tar file that can be uploaded
to the source directory.

Great. Would you be interested in becoming the stowaway ipkg
maintainer for familiar? :)
