This could permit to download only the extra packages relevant to a specific OS/Architecture while making sure that the web site hosting them will not disappear without having been indexed by the Internet Archive. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server > from Actuate!
