Absolutely. During the 'testing' period they are on the club server, and afterwards they go in 'Unsupported' on the ftp mirrors. In any case the people who package them normally put them up on a public server anyway. Any package with 'legal issues' ends up on PLF. But don't let that stop you joining the club... derek
