Okay, but this means to me that it makes no real difference if I upload it to 2 destinations all the time. I am living in Argentina and my internet connection here is very slow :-(
When we have to write a special file (ebuild) anyway so I would suggest to rename the funny name the server is giving us. We just have to insert a variable which contains the actual version. Saves me a lot of time. And I want to concentrate my efforts on making laby better and not other stuff. There is still a lot to to. And I want to beat the Windows version as soon as possible!
