I think this is a great idea. I just don't know if we are the right mailing list for that. I am happy to make a server/repository available for that to happen though. If you can figure out a way to handle uploads securely without giving the world ftp write of ssh access, then we can implement it on my US server and announce it. Once the opensuse.org server will be that far next year we can then migrate the stuff onto it. http://opensuse.linux.co.nz/ Andreas openSUSE is SUPER: To help in the SUSE Performance Enhanced Release project visit http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/SUPER --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
