Let's rephrase it:

In a discussion with portmgr@, we decided to add the SRPMs to the linux
ports, and write code to let the port build cluster fetch the SRPMs
too. A normal build without PACKAGE_BUILDING defined should not fetch
the SRPMS. This way we make sure the distfiles for the linux binaries
are available on FreeBSD-project storage.

I do not know if the SPRMs are on the release media or not, but they
should be available somewhere on FreeBSD resources.

Bye,
Alexander.
