Yes, that's the cvs repository I was referring to above - there are no tags
there and no source tarballs anywhere else. This means that there is no
source distribution for any of their releases. That's annoying.

I'm guessing that off_network is the main module there but why should I bother
reverse-engineering their build process just to install a possibly broken cvs
version? I want the latest release. It's their funeral at the end of the day
but an open-source project that doesn't release source tarballs is just being
silly.
