Re: [aclug-L] gimp swap and other files

[phrostie <phrostie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i don't recompile things often.
if i recompile something it is because there is a newer version, new
source.
i guess my question should have been are they needed after the binary
is complete?

thanks for the help

If you delete those, you won't have any source codes left.
