Hi all, A couple of days ago on sane-devel, I wrote:

For some reason the connection resets. Anyway, I have HTML pages and attachments for all 1634 other items. Next on the agenda is figuring out how to get this on GitLab ;-) Oh, I'll be monitoring the Alioth Trackers for changes every now and then. There's no way to make them read-only :-( Hope this helps, -- Olaf Meeuwissen, LPIC-2 FSF Associate Member since 2004-01-27 GnuPG key: F84A2DD9/B3C0 2F47 EA19 64F4 9F13 F43E B8A4 A88A F84A 2DD9 Support Free Software https://my.fsf.org/donate Join the Free Software Foundation https://my.fsf.org/join -- sane-devel mailing list: sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to sane-devel-requ...@lists.alioth.debian.org
