It's matter of few more lines in installer that would do all the patching on user's computer. Like I said, it's easy and worth to write such an installer and make the package 100% legal and bulletproof (providing all the software in the package is included properly - according to each program's readme and license OR with specific permission for this purpose).
This way the Unofficial Boing Bag can be promoted everywhere, on OSNews and other servers, distributed on Amiga Future CD, etc. Wouldn't it be great?
One vote for this - hopefully Thomas Richter can publish his patches & updates this way too, instead of waiting.. ;-)
Of course full files would be nice, but I don't think that is absolutely necessary. Infact I don't want to see possible negative attitude from copyright owners to let down those creating this excellent package. This has happened way too often. So if there is already legal way, and all it takes is somewhat more complex installer-script, I'd say it's easy choice.
