This form varies with the nature of the software package. +Generally, it is the form originally edited by the software's author. + +The source code includes all machine- or human-readable instructions necessary +to generate and install the form of the software that is to be executed on a +computer system. It need not include software that is made available in source +code form elsewhere. + + +Requirements +============ + +To be included in this distribution, every part of a software package must be +available in source code form. The binary packages generated from the +distribution's source package must be derived directly from the package source +code. |
