I got curious about how it really was, so i did some searches in the list archives. I figured it _should_ be in the debian-devel list... It seems I only _modified_ (or rather contributed patches) to the script made by Craig Sanders (autoup.sh). And the more I looked, the more I found that all my patches was thrown out (using ncftp which wasn't free/open enough etc). But to my 'defence', it WAS after all seven and a half years ago... I've contributed a lot of patches to a lot of projects. Can't remember them all :) I withdraw my claims. :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
