You can document how to add a repository to your configuration, but in documenting, you cannot use as an example any repository that contains forbidden bits, nor suggest that this is a way to obtain forbidden bits. Might I suggest the CBI (Cooperative Bug Isolation) project? http://www.cs.wisc.edu/cbi/downloads/ This is a totally FOSS way to contribute to the bettering of free software. -- Paul W.
