Hi,

As the submitter of that FreeBSD problem report, I second the request for 
official tarball releases.  I don't know of any good hosting services for 
unofficial tarballs of third-party projects.  (for example I think that most 
hosting providers such as berliOS or google code would be against it)

Also, I'm not even sure if the submission even works (on FreeBSD) at runtime.  
I recently wrote some more patches for it to get rid of errors that I was 
seeing on my system, which I believe would not be of use to the core project.

The problem report was rejected because it performed a subversion checkout, and 
I think that linux distributions might have similar policies regarding 
checkouts as well.

Regards,
Tim
