[Compcomm] Release & repo policy (was: Forum Decision)

I feel that's just you who is confused.
Release source == (Group of) people who release a piece of software
Source release == Released tarball

So there can be multiple source releases from one release source (what
compcomm is planning to do) and/or one source release from multiple release
source (your compiz-extra tarball). Easy as that.

Which is? www.anykeysoftware.co.uk gives me "Hello" - that's all.

Ok, again:
- I talked about your tarball and the lack of reproducibility of its source
origin / revision.
- You responded with statements about the Python plugin.

You should ask yourself how those are related and not me.

> And how is any of it relevant to a post about your new forum?

RYX' original statement was nearly as offtopic as this discussion. I have
adjusted the topic for the nitpickers among us.
If the discussion is about "your forum" (as in: our excluding you), I don't
really see why you should be relevant here.
