[infomap-nlp-users] Spam apology re. Generating new Releases

[Dominic W. <dwi...@cs...>]

My apologies, the previous message was meant to go to the developers list
not the users list. Sorry for cluttering everybody's inbox: however, if
you *do* have a better idea of how to get releases automatically generated
from cvs and successfully uploaded to SourceForge, please write to me!
