    Hello @drzraf
    Source codes increase the zip file size which is not good for WP plugin specially for block plugin. in case of block plugin is is highly recommended to keep its file size minimum.
    Thanks

    I’m obviously talking about the SVN tree.

    The source code is NOT available in the code repository : Only compiled javascript.

    Hi @drzraf,
    WP highly recommends that block-plugin should be lightweight. That’s why all source code are minified in dist folder.
    Thanks!

    – The dist folder is not the source-code
    – Size is not a matter regarding the repository (that’s actually the point of a VCS)
    – WP mandates plugins to be under the General Pubic License
    – Said license grants users to right request the original source code (in a readable format)

    On a side side, the source code is needed for the purpose of maintenance, extensibility, quality and security controls and basic freedom of usage of said software.

    Thank you
