Re: source tarballs, which ones?

["Michael" <mikejunior geocities com>]

I am not the system adm, but I think that it takes time for them to sync the
files in other dirs to the latest dir. So latest would not really the latest
available. If you find something newer in other dirs, then use it. Reference
to www.gnome.com will give you more details, especially in the news and
discussion pages.
