I thought the GPL only required you to provide the sources _when_someone_asks_for_them_. We did learn a lesson today. My reading of the GPL2 is that it requires you to carry the sources on an anon-ftp site which carries the binaries, unless you got just the binaries with a written assurance that the sources would be available or provide a written assurance yourself.

And systems/linux/tsx-11/distributions/debian/debian-1.0/sources is empty !!! As a tsx-11 admin, I can explain that this is because tsx-11 simply doesn't have a lot of space. Every time anything in debian changes, tsx-11's disk fills up. So we don't carry the source. I imagine that Ted made the same mistake as infomagic when he saw two distributions and the disk filling up again. Removing SLS only gave us 50MB of room... michaelkjohnson

Dear Robert Leslie! }I don't know about other mirrors, but AFAICT tsx-11.mit.edu doesn't even carry }the 0.93R6 release any more. It only offers debian-1.0. I have just looked at sunsite. I thought they carry the whole tree, but they don't. They only offer 0.93*. That's ok.

Re: debian-1.0 availability
I was going to suggest with all these people querying about 1.0 that we have an an account on ftp.debian.org with access to debian-1.0 directory so we lock out normal public ftp access. I myself have noticed quite a few people coming in and nabbing 1.0 packages thinking that they were the ones to use (IGNORING the README-USE-0.93 stuff etc) only to find that they couldnt use it and come back to get the 0.93 packages. Perhaps just naming it development (instead of that being a link to debian-1.0) would suffice. stable would remain a link to the latest release.
