because it is generated on the server and to have it in git would mean to have 
git installed on the server
and check it in.

We found that too complex and instead treat the updates.list as a cache that is 
just generated on the server

The thing is that this is all crappy stuff, the next step is to remove the 
updates.list and just rely on files in a directory.

So and *accessing* files.pharo.org to edit the file is sadly compacted, but 
that is because Inria admins can't give
us anything else.

ssh file-pharo.inria.fr
sudo su - filepharosync
cd /appli/files.pharo.org/updates/pharo3.0/
vi updates30.list

(yes, and then this is not in unix line endings… so editing is a pain)

yes, this all sucks. But what are the options? Doing nothing until it is 
beautiful and perfect?
