The problem is that those sources are *not* what's on the repository, since our process includes a little more besides git archive. I know I couldn't recreate the release, if just given a tarball. So I'd rather we kept the actual, released sources. Note I'm asking only for alpha, beta and RC. We can even reduce by keeping only one set of sources, removing either the convenience tarball or the per-module sources. EVERYONE who is distributing Qt in their applications MUST keep a copy of the sources that they used in order to comply with the LGPL, but we know most people don't do that. If it's not too much to ask, we should help them comply with the LGPL. That said, we don't need those mirrored. They can be kept in a colder archive. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
