netgull.com mirror doesn't have gcc release .sig files.

netgull.com mirror doesn't have gcc release .sig files.

[Andrew Engelbrecht]

there are no .sig files here:

http://www.netgull.com/gcc/releases/gcc-4.8.2/

i assumed that gcc didn't use gpg for releases, and became very
discouraged about the idea of building gcc from source.

then i noticed that there are .sig files at ftp.gnu.org and became very
happy. :)

i've only checked the above mirrors, but it would be nice if that
mirror, and others, (automatically?) distributed .sig files too.

thanks,
-andrew

The reason you do not see .sig files on our netgull.com mirror is
that it mirrors gcc.gnu.org, which does not carry those, whereas
ftp.gnu.org and hence its mirrors has them.

Richi, Jakub, can you also add those .sig files to the copies on
gcc.gnu.org going forward?

Nothing against that ... can you add an action item to releasing.html please?

Thanks,
