This way, at least, there's half a chance > that people will notice that they're missing some files... I wrote that mail when I saw the -mentors posting [1]. The page page pointed to there contains only i386 binary packages (on a side note, I think these should be architecture all packages). I then went to the Mentors FAQ, searched for "source" and found nothing. Upon close inspection, your statement is clear, but I'd change it: > # Provide a publically accessible place where all of the files > (.orig.tar.gz, diff, changes, dsc, and binary package(s)) relating to > your package can be downloaded from. # Provide a publically accessible place where all of the files relating to your package can be downloaded from, that is both the source package (.orig.tar.gz, .diff, and .dsc files) and binary packages along with .changes files.
