Yet, all serious open source projects have that infra because they consider it important. Without it, their openness would be rather questionable. Understandably, not all can manage a cost of running the repository. Luckily, there are solutions like github and etc. which help with heavy lifting. Many projects still run such repos in house if they don't want to rely on 3rd party infrastructure.

In either case, having a public repository is a norm for real open project. Throwing code over the wall is a practice of corporate projects which do it simply to comply with GPL or other open licenses and care not about actually being open. I'm not saying Jolla is the later case, but the situation should improve in order for it not to look that way.

I'm not sure community can help much with improving internal Jolla organization. It's their decision how they structure the primary code of the project. Community can of course gather pieces thrown over the wall each time and reorganize them, but that's not how it should be done and not the point of this conversation.

Well, most of the open Sailfish OS stuff is either in Mer packages or in Nemo Github repos anyway, right ? So it is not really like if the code drop was the only for of the Sailfish OS codebase, Android style.

BTW, what's actually in those big archives ? Source tarballs, SRPMs or what ? (haven't checked myself yet)

@MartinK: Kernel and various other parts aren't. It's all rather disorganized.
