It must be on *YOUR* website, not some third party like sources.redhat.com. There is no requirement that the binaries and sources be bundled into a single download -- you can package binaries and source separately. But *both* must be available, in the same form. So, if you distribute binaries via your ftp site, then you must distribute the sources also via ftp on your site. ditto: binaries via your http server....sources via your http server CD-by-mail....CD-by-mail etc. --Chuck -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
