Sorry, but that would not be true. We actually *do* distribute most

files only.

I posted a self-correction. I still think the download page is unnecessarily misleading in some ways. Perhaps fixing the first link is more important (the page that shows:

* *MySQL database server & standard clients:*
o MySQL 3.23 -- Stable release (recommended) latest version is
3.23.54a
+ *3.23
<http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-3.23.html>* --
Default package (use this if you are unsure)
+ *3.23 Max
<http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-max-3.23.html>*
-- Package with maximum features
o MySQL 4.0 -- Beta release (use this for new development)
latest version is 4.0.5
+ *4.0 Standard
<http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-standard-4.0.html>*
-- Default package with all the features necessary for
typical usage, including the InnoDB transactional
table handler (use this if you are unsure)
+ *4.0 Max
<http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-max-4.0.html>*
-- Package with maximum features (SSL, RAID, BDB)
+ *4.0 Debug
<http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-debug-4.0.html>*
-- Packages compiled with debugging enabled (for bug
tracing only)
o *Older releases
<http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-old.html>* -- older
releases (only recommended for special needs)

The source download should be linked for those versions under the binary links.

3.23 ...
3.23 max ...
3.23 source ...

Just IMHO of course :)
