Re: [TiLP-devel] TiLP ported to FreeBSD

[Romain L. <ro...@ti...>]

Hi,

given that I have ADSL for now, I have installed a server.

Developers who need to get the latest source code of my various projects 
can use my ftp server:
ftp://de...@rl... or ftp rlievin.dyndns.org
login: devel
pass: devel

Bandwidth: 128/64 kbits.

This server is for developers _only_.

Regards, roms.
