OK, that's a neat attempt to change the topic - but we were talking about compression of .src.rpm. No matter how you got there: at the end the sources need to be in the src.rpm.
I don't read that in the GPL.
They (a tarball, cpio archive, expanded git checkout, whatever) need to be on the same media set as the src.rpm, but I cannot see how a HOWTO telling "SRPMS/foo.src.rpm needs sourceballs/foo.zip for building" and both delivered on the same DVD / the same would violate the GPL.
But if we need to tar it up for the Source DVD anyway, we can just as well just put it into the .src.rpm ;)
I just don't think they need to be compressed (or only very lightly)
The first thing I forbid my users is
<service mode="buildtime" name="recompress"> <param name="file">*.tar</param> <param name="compression">xz</param> </service>
:-) This is the most useless waste of CPU time ever ;-)
well, putting plenty of uncompressed tar balls on all of our mirrors is the most useless waste of storage space ever ;)
There is a reason the sources are in /sources and - most mirrors don't even fetch them. As they are so seldomly downloaded, there is little interest to mirror it.
