Am I blind or are there no sources for the binaries?

It appears to be one of those rare (but legitimate) GPL projects which do not disclose publicly viewable source, but should hand it over upon request if they are to obey licensing terms.

UnxUtils and DJGPP are other alternatives.

Speaking of which, this project has been posted on HN at least 4 times previously.

EDIT: No, they appear to be publicly available in Releases, as mentioned by another poster.

Looks like the maintainer provides the sources in the release section:

Most of the sources and binaries are from 2012. That version of bash would have the shellshock bug(s).

This project is a Good Idea, but it would be overwhelmingly more useful if it tracked modern versions.

So binaries in source control, source files in release. I don't know what to write.

You are not blind. There are no sources for the binaries.
