I've been keeping my eye of the road in front of us, but sometimes
look back in my rearview mirror to make sure the old stuff still
works. ;)
I think for posting any compiled files, those would probably only be
haiku ones, as there's bebits for BeOS files.
As for posting files, looks like we're waiting on Sikosis to figure
out why the files I've posted aren't downloadable. I've been building
dev haiku raw and vmware images daily and they will eventually be
available at http://www.haiku-files.org/dev
So if you find a package maintainer who would like to test your
changes out for themselves in vmware you can point them to that page.
That's what the 7zip guy did. I was hosting them on my private ftp
site and gave him the url to it.
