I should've realized anyone can upload to sf sooner :(

Perhaps I should point out YOU is not the pronoun, but "Yast Online
Update" (although I guess "you" still have to do some of the
update).

While theKompany was still hosting the origninal PyKDE (KDE1) the
PyKDE2 name still made sense. It seems to make the numbering easier
to read to drop the '2' now. 

I'm ambivalent about the sf site - it was setup when I had to
transfer 10MB or more to Phil for releases, but uploading is a pain
for me (my satellite link probably doesn't do as well as your 56K
dialup for uploads). I'm not sure if sf will let me rename -
acutally it might be better to just start over, as the stuff on
PyKDE2 is old and useless but I don't believe there's a way to
delete it. There's some politics involved in using sf to refer to
the riverbankcomputing site - I need to check that out too.

I'll probably do something with it, as I have some other stuff I
want to host there eventually, and the larger files (like rpms)
really hit the riverbank site for BW charges.

I'll post when I have your rpms and Jonathan's RH rpms transferred
over.
