My version of tetex-src-2.0.2.tar.gz was created by xdelta from
previous versions.

Note that xdelta unpacks the gzipped files prior to applying the
patches, and then packs them back, so the resulting md5sum of the
packed file after applying an xdelta MAY differ from your copy
(because packing with gzip depends on various things like compression
level, timestamp of the file, etc).

What should be the same is the md5sum of the unpacked TAR file.

(i've posted the md5sum of my guzipped TAR file).

In this respect, it makes sense to post the md5sums of not only the
gzipped tarballs, but also gunziped ones, i.e.
gzip -dc tetex-src-?.?.?.tar.gz | md5sum
