The contrib package repository for TSL 2.2 is to be merged with the
community repository for TSL 2.2.

Background:

Once upon a time we created a contrib repository for TSL 2.0, that was
ported to TSL 2.1 and then to TSL 2.2. The packages was mainly
contributed by the TSL user community, and when contributed by Trustix
Developers, it was done wearing the 'User' hat.

Later we set up infrastructure to allow limited access to automatically
update repositories. The new repository which used this infrastructure
was called 'community'.

After many months of testing we now consider the infrastructure
surronding community-2.2 to be stable.

This means that we will remove access to the content of the old
contrib-2.2 repository, and rather make it a link to the new
community-2.2 repository.

When TSL 3.0 is released a contrib-3.0 will not be created. We will
rather set up a community-3.0 repository for community packages.

Actions:

Anyone that wants a package in contrib-2.2 to be available in
community-2.2 should consider asking for upload access to community-2.2
and migrate the package over.  At the same time most packages should be
updated.

To ask for upload access send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Obviously the one that commits a packages is also in charge of
maintaining it from then on. Packages in community-2.2 that are not kept
up to date will be removed from the repository.


kind regards
