Hi Lars. Thanks for all your work on tarfile!
Please send your ssh2 key to pydotorg at python.org as an attachment. One of us will add your key. Hopefully I can remember how to do it. Here's some other info: http://www.python.org/dev/faq/#subversion-svn I can't add you to SF to be assigned bugs since I'm not an admin. So hopefully one of the admins can either add me as an admin or you as a developer. I already updated Misc/developers.txt. n -- On 12/20/06, Lars Gustäbel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > my name is Lars Gustäbel (SF gustaebel).
