Though, I’m in the process of moving to another city atm, so I’m very busy at the moment and can’t do a lot wrt maintainance of my packages. Hopefully everything will get sorted sooner or later, but I don’t expect to have much time until christmas… Sorry for not announcing this earlier, but personal life got in the way sooner than I expected :/ Please don’t hesitate to contact me by direct mail if you’re stuck on some of my packages like Stormi did a few days ago, I read them (but not daily) Best regards, -- Rémy CLOUARD () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments
