If that happens we can switch back to git. I rather use this non very official URL than waiting lot of time for a more official page with the tarballs.

Actually, it seems that both ftp.freedesktop.org, and people.freedesktop.org are on the same machine, that is know as annarchy.freedesktop.org (looking at the DNS records), and developers have access to it according to http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/AccountRequests/

So, I guess that what brianp did is just a symlink to his homedir from the FTP public subdirectory.

Should be fine meanwhile he don't deletes that.

I think it should be simple to expose this files via http with a better URL, maybe we can open a bug requesting this on the freedesktop bugzilla if you don't get a positive response soon.


Thanks.
