Hosting needed for Enlightenment Foundation Libraries Apt/yum repositories

[Didier Casse]

Thanks for the numerous replies. I no longer need hosting for my
repository at the moment. I've been granted extra diskspace of over 1Gb
for hosting these on sps.nus.edu.sg by the sysadmin who appreciated the
work I've been doing.

And on top of that I've received about 50 emails from people who
have been eager to host me.

At the time that I wrote the email, I also emailed a few people here
and there...

I really received lots of positive feedback. So it's alright. Thanks.



Concerning Fedora Extras, I don't think that they would be so keen about
it since E17 EFL is still in its development stage.  I guess when the EFL
would be fully developed, people would start thinking about it. For now
I'll just leave it where it is. ;-)

I tried to submit software before and people found thousands of reason of
why not to include them instead of looking at the bright side of the
software.

I get about 20 thank-you emails per week. So I think the people who want
to install the EFLs or E17 knows where to find the packages. Thanks again.



With kind regards,
Didier.
