I'm one of the main developers for Conduit, and am an active upstream dev for synce (to be made a "project admin" i am told). I see you also inquired about PPAs; note that PPAs are independent of > upstreams, and that you can register your own PPA (or create a team PPA) > and use that without any administrative relationship with the projects. Thanks, this wasn't clear at first but one of the people I was helping to install SynCE in IRC pointed it out - i was then able to set these packages up: https://launchpad.net/~synce/+archive This has proven most useful and i'm going to be setting up synce-devel for development snapshots.

Joey sorted out my request on the same day as my original e-mail, but thanks. John
