I agree with Jeremy, I spent a LOT of time trying to resurrect Publican and would not have succeeded unless Erich had saved some of the necessary items on Sourceforge. I am in favor of saving a complete standalone package.
I don´t see a point with using SVN to get the tools. If there is a „Tools“ repository that one can use http to get to this is easier for most user? Hälsningar/Regards/Grüsse, P.O.
