Hi,
I searched all over but I could not find the sources. I am looking for source code to do some changes to the applications. If you could post in a FTP/CVS and email me the link it would be great help.
Thanks,
Portable App user.

It's included with every single app in a directory called, for example, PortableFirefoxCode.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
If you're looking for C/C++ code, you're not going to find it. The launcher is written in NSI (Nullsoft Scriptable Installer). You'll need to download NSIS and some plugins (ask John which ones) in order to compile it.

Also, the portable application code itself such as firefox etc... I am planing on doing some improvements to the code.
Unless Im mistaken, its just a normal Fx distro. The code is at mozilla.org

John made no direct modifications to the Firefox code, or to any of the portable apps for that matter. If you want the source for Firefox, you can get it at Mozilla's website. Just be aware, if you're on Windows, you need to download and install a ton of tools (in the form of Cygwin, plus whatever other dependencies I don't know about) just to compile the damned thing.
Oh, and you need to use Visual C++ 6.0 SP5 or higher. Mozilla doesn't support any other compiler.

That's too much work, even for me, and I'm a programmer. I'll let Mozilla do the work and just report stuff in Bugzilla if the need arises. I prefer one- or two-step operations.
Why do UNIX and Linux have to make everything so damned complicated, anyway? I swear, geeks do it to themselves purposely, just to make it more complicated. Now I know where their inflated egos come from.
So what you're saying is that all the portable apps are the same. I could make my own portable uTorrent, by just changing a small amount of code (not in the launcher) from the portable sunbird app?
Oh forgot by the way portable sunbird needs to be drastically updated from 0.3a1 to 0.3 and or 0.4a1.
