Re: first upload problem

[John O Sullivan <johno@cruithne.org>]

Thanks,
I made the changes you suggested and uploaded successfully using scp.
I hadn't actually logged in using ssh before so I hadn't seen the
motd. The new maintainers guide seems to be a bit out of date. I'd
like to help updating it so if anyone on this list (Josip Rodin) wants
help please let me know.

cheers,
johno
