Well, I keep telling the people to mail to the user list...

I just would suggest that the maintainers of the different
Distributions create and upload their binary distributions to the
registred tarball distributions.

Suggestion:

We keep the tarball as the primary download. This is the one that gets
out first, and this is the one that I as a release manager are
responsible for.

Then we create binary distributions for the different Linuxes out ther
and attach them to the Download Section, the infrastructure for that is
there and it works just fine.

I can provide working packages for Debian-Stable, since I build them
here anyway, as a binary distribution for download.

Agreed.

Midgard-Lite should get its own website though, since it isn't 100%
compatible to Midgard (in both directions).

Ok.
