No, if anything there should be a link there pointing to the latest
release as "the sources". The git repositories should be under something
like "how to contribute" or so.

At least thats what I've seen in the vast majority of projects I've
visited and it makes sure that somebody who just wants the sources to
build it locally (for whatever reason) gets something stable and release
and not some arbitrary git snapshot that may or may not build. In fact
thats something I often miss with github projects, some kind of actual
release that has been somewhat tested...


i haven't worked with KDE git repos yet, but with the projects i did use, the releases are tagged in the git tree, so you can check out whichever release you want if you cloned the whole tree.
