Re: Hosting Arch archive on Sourceforge

I got as far as creating an archive and committing to it.  This can work
for multiple users as long as we use group (zinf) write-able directories
and *everybody* sets there umask appropiately.  I have not played with
extensively, but I think it will work.

However, what I wanted to PQM patch-queue-manager for applying 
patches and ensuring at least some semblance of regression testing.
I made no progress on this.

You might want to play with the first solution (the archive on
sourceforge).  The only problem I forsee is that we will have
to use our web space also for our archive space and sourceforge
adds a quota to the web-storage.   I kept thinking they 
would eventually offer arch style archives, but I haven't
seen anything yet.
