No, this is a mistake, there should only be source files in the source zips...It happens eveery now & again when someone (not sure who) does a make on the PC used as the server. I've been requesting for a while that the script is changed to remove the extra files before zipping...but it isn't high on the developers priority list! The .ppu,.exe etc should only be in the snapshots or releases! Just keep complaining when it happens!

Subject: [fpc-devel]Are so many files necessary?

Hello All,
I downloaded 1.1 source and found in compiler.zip many precompiled .ppu/.o files. Are they necessary here? I agree, at least startups for Linux in RTL source are a good idea for using FPC as cross-compiler Win32 -> Linux because their asm sources cannot be compiled with asw, but what is the mean to upload precompiled parts of compiler in the same file as its source code? Total size of compiler.zip is 3706950 now.

The script removes the extra files before zipping, but in some cases it fails to run correctly. Most of the time when the snapshots are failing.

This will stay the next days as the cvs server is down and the owner is on holiday :(

BTW the extra stuff is _still_ in fpc.zip today, Thur...J
