Yep, that's the plan. We tried to do it with ftp and got something working but it was kind of unreliable.

Admittedly, they're far less likely to make packaging mistakes :) _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
