There is no pure source package for upstream release. We just bundle
source code as a zipped JAR file in [zekr]/dist/zekr-src.jar.
build.xml come with each package is usually able to recompile, clean
and launch Zekr, using Apache Ant.

We cited WikiSources, but it was not an authentic source to them:

I didn't do anything bad in the code :)

I'm not sure if you successfully installed and ran this Debian
package, did you? Would you please tell me more specific what the
problem is?
If you have any of Firefox, IceApce or Mozilla from Debian
repositories (plus libgtkembedmoz.so which although exists in Ubuntu
Firefox package, but is not present in Debian IceApe), you should be
able to install the version available on mentors.debian.net. All these
dependencies should be satisfied by current depends fiels...

Thanks,
