Did I understand correctly, that it to me is sufficient to provide the information for getting the sources for each archive with binaries? Since now each archive would contain the information on the project licenses used for builds, as like as Ruben and sezero do. The builds 4.6.2-release and 4.6.3-release will be updated. Ruben, under which license is your patch "gcc-4.6-posixthreadingandlibstdc++.patch" ? > > On Sat, Mar 3, 2012 at 9:47 AM, niXman <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> 2012/3/3 Earnie Boyd <[email protected]>: >> > On Fri, Mar 2, 2012 at 4:45 PM, Joshua Boyce >> > <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> >> >> On Sat, Mar 3, 2012 at 5:13 AM, Luis Lavena <[email protected]> >> >> wrote: >> >>> >> >>> On Fri, Mar 2, 2012 at 1:09 PM, niXman <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> > >> >>> > I didn't upload sources and scripts cause nobody needs them.
