Hi everyone,

after a long time away from U++, I have returned (because of Oblivions great Bobcat terminal) and I'm getting familiar with the changes that happened in the U++ ecosystem in the past few years.

UppHub in particular is a great thing. However, there is one thing that strikes me as a bit odd: UppHub doesn't contain U++ sources. Is there any reason, why the uppsrc nest is not published on the UppHub?

To give a real life example: Bobcat terminal provides very handy [makefile](https://github.com/ismail-yilmaz/Bobcat/blob/main/makefile), so that non-u++ users can easily compile it. It downloads `umk`, which is capable to download all its dependencies (TerminalCtrl etc.) from UppHub, but the uppsrc itself has to be downloaded separately. It would seem to me much more natural, if the uppsrc nest could also be downloaded from UppHub as needed. It would also probably make upgrades and packaging a bit simpler.

Best regards,
Honza
