Milind,

I do hope you are not making a joke. For a distribution which has been
doing releases since 2007 doesn't have a public repo it is definitely
something to worry about.

How as I user I am to presume or assume that there aren't any
back-doors. The whole idea of providing sources is that you are able
to compile the binaries if you are uneasy about something or want to
compile it in a different way, with different compiler flags, add some
security patches or anything else than the distro. has done.

Not having sources is akin to running any Operating System, it is the
same as running MS-Windows or OS X (used in Macs).

Most GNU/Linux distributions have their git repos. open, so why not BOSS/C-DAC ?

https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/ - Debian's public repo.

Look forward to know.
