Once you delete the RPM at T1, having made the SRPM available also in the same way through the same place from T0 to T1, then you could delete the SRPM too. Assuming relatively normal Fedora-style RPMs and SRPMs of course. - RF _______________________________________________ legal mailing list legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/legal
