Hmm, how do we best go about that? I had checked and https://gcc.gnu.org/ftp/gcc/releases/gcc-14.3.0/ and others really only have .gzip and .xz downloads, and our snapshots come in .xz format only. So .bz2 is only used by some of our dependencies which people may (when using download_prerequisites) or may not (when people use their system's package manager) obtain in that source form. So for our doc/install.texi I'm tempted to say we're good? (We are generally not listing the dependencies of our dependencies). Or do you have something in mind? Gerald
