(1) From the sound of it, we all can maintain our own individual repositories under Arch, so is there no central repository?
We can have a central repository if wanted. I'm not sure whether sourceforge can host arch, although I know other similar services can.
I am just concerned that if there are no central repositories, apart from the individual developers, about data backups etc
That can be addressed by archive mirrors and there will be the releases anyway.

Does it at present? In the last year or so, I've seen ldapKoha, rssKoha, one with a Z server in it, one with the start of some XML server, the win32 port ... I think most people have been pretty honest about pointing back to the main releases. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and not of any group I know Creative copyleft computing - http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ LinuxExpo.org.uk village 6+7 Oct http://www.affs.org.uk
