Hi Miguel,
Thanks for the offer!
But I think one of the reasons that we prefer to keep our own servers,
is that we all have full shell access to them. I do not think University
sysadmins will grant that to us.
So theoretically we could use a server as a download server and let
you/them rsync our releases (or mirror one of the repo's). But with that
it is the same story: now we have full control over our servers, if we
make a hickup or issue with a file we can ourselves remove it.
That is harder if others rsync it etc.
But maybe others have an idea for your offer?
Please let us know.
Regards, and again: thanks for the offer!
