Sorry we are not a package hosting service but a group of maintainers that care for a repository of packages. Adding something to packman needs way more then just uploading it. You need to adapt the package to openSUSEs needs, maintain it for several versions, fix packaging bugs and so on. You can do that for truecrypt if you want, but this needs plenty of time and knowledge about packaging and so on. Are you willing to do that? Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, http://hennevogel.de "To die.
