[fpc-devel]Are so many files necessary?

[Lee, John]

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!

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.
