Could I suggest the source code link be made more readily available on the front page, as well as in subsequent download directories. This would be far more user friendly and would negate embarking on a mini-quest in order to obtain it ;)
Sorry to bump this but is there any reason there is no source tarball released anymore?
I really would like to keep flock in our repos but getting ~750 Mb from svn where the source tarballs where only about ~50 Mb is not really KISS, nor is is very good for your (and mine) bandwith.
For your interest, the last I can find is the 1.1.1 release. Could you please make them available for future releases?
We'll update the source tarball, but if you're actively tracking releases, using svn to only update what's changed is more bandwidth efficient over time than downloading 50 MB tarballs each time, since with svn you're only getting what's changed.
Also, I don't think an svn checkout is 750 MB, you can't compare on disk size with what's transferred over the network, as svn's local metadata store is horribly space inefficient.

Hey daxumaming,
You should be able to find everything you need at developer.flock.com. Feel free to email me if you have any questions, comments, etc. Have fun! :)

thanks for supplying the source tarball for future releases.

Hi, is there an newer source for flock than 1.1.1?
