We don't currently have any plans to maintain an http:// version, rsync mirror snapshots, or nightly tarballs. (On the whole, it was just a bit too much TMTOWTDI. We don't really have people to help newbies out if they run into problems on one of the "non-standard" routes, nor did we ever test the "non-standard" routes.) If this is a significant pain point, let us know and we'll see what we can do. Allison _______________________________________________ http://lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev
