They are *very* anal and retentive about it since they want *everyone* to be able to get the exact source that created the binaries. The Minix folks find this out when Bruce made the 1.X binaries available for minix-386 and the archive sites only kept the binaries and the diffs. The GNU folks said they were required to keep the sources online as well even though the sources could be gotten from other sites. The reasoning was the other sites would delete the old sources when the new versions came on line (similar to us deleting 2.0 when 2.1 comes on line). Those folks who get a 2.1 CD will not have the sources for libgcc.so.262.0 at their beck and call. Nate
