Thanks for the hint, I did so already, (and I think you've done a great job
with this package),
but my problem with sourceforge.net was simply that I could not upload a new
release for our project xnap (for which there is a debian package by the way)
for quite a long time due to their servers being totally unresponding;
By the way I'm of course not really of the opinion that sourceforge "sucks";
one really has to admit that valinux does an incredible job for the open
source commity, hosting I think more than 16000 projects on their servers,
which sort of explains why they are a bit slow sometimes.
Cheers,
Yven
P.S. It would be fantastic if anyone on this list had a look at the debian
package of xnap, to be found here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=9285
Warning: you need java 1.3 so that probably severely limits the number of
people willing to try it :-(
