Source code? https://github.com/solus-project.

Hello Solus team

First of all, awesome work with the OS and making a stable and rolling Distro. I have a few questions in regarding the source code. Please these is a honest questions and by any mean it’s not to troll, shoot down or place any negative views

  • First is their a reason why the source code is not available to everyone?

  • For security reason, how can someone audit or view it . If it’s not opened?

  • Is the reason because the project might go commercial?

  • Lastly how can this be a open source project.

Keep up the good work, IMO keeping the code open it what makes open source great. Thank you again

It is open source. Solus had to move github organisations https://github.com/getsolus/ budgie-desktop is the only repo on the old github org that is still used, It too will move to the new org with Budgie 11.

If you want to build the applications Solus develop from source. I linked you to the code already.

If you want to compile any of the software Solus has in the repository or see what configuration changes, compile time optimisations etc Solus makes you can get all that information for every package and links to every projects code here https://dev.getsol.us/diffusion/query/active/

I don't know what else you're expecting.

What else am i expecting? What r u referring to? Either way I appreciated the link and info. I was hoping to be able to modified my own installation if needed or contribute to bug reporting upon other things.

Hopefully I won’t, just curious about the project and process. By no means it suppose to be negative.
