Hi,

From the information I gathered, providing the source code for the toolchain is a requirement for binary releases, and not for source releases. Including instructions to recreate your usual build environment remains best practice, naturally.

Thank you. I'll wait for the aswer.

I don't make releases every month, but the project itself is very small and the dependencies are about 100MB.

Hi,

I'll ask for clarifications, such a requirement sounds weird.

In any case, I doubt space will be an issue, though of course this depends on how often you're making releases per month and how you can reuse cross-compiler tarballs.

http://www.gpl-violations.org/faq/sourcecode-faq.html tells that a GPL-compliant distribution should include e.g. the cross-compiler used.

Thus, in the case of stribog, gEDA, avr-libc, GNU binutils and GCC should be added to the source tarball. I'm in doubt whether to waste savannah space or to find another hosting service to distribute the project in a GPL-conformant way.
