FWIW, the latest development is that BerliOS might not be shutting down after all. This just came in on my feed-reader today (watch the wrap): Rescue in sight for BerliOS OSS repository http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Rescue-in-sight-for-BerliOS-OSS-re= pository-1369245.html It seems a non-profit development association is being setup to take things over, with FOKUS (the current hosts who were shutting it down) offering to continue to provide bandwidth and the current dedicated systems for the time being, altho they won't be dedicating new resources to it so other hosting will be needed in the medium term. (The current issue and highest cost factor for FOKUS was staffing costs. Volunteers will apparently take over there.) But of course it could still fall thru as the new organization is still being setup and negotiations are still ongoing, so continuing on course to make other arrangements is still prudent. But those with affected packages may wish to track or to get involved with this, as well. --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
