Hello,
Generally I am not a great believer in distributing binaries by ftp
from a security viewpoint--it is better for distributors to do that,
as a tested part of their distribution, or for people to compile from
source (which is not too difficult in the case of GSL).

If the distributions are minor ones, I wouldn't think it's worth it to
be honest. If there are some major distributions which are not
including it or have stopped maybe I can ask them why or ask them to
add it. Last time I checked, it was included in RHEL/Fedora, SUSE,
Mandriva and Debian.
