I still feel this is something Andreas put there some time ago.... I suspect Distrowatch may have picked this up from the posts here on the dev lists - they are, after all, open to all. We have always gone for open discussion - which means that all posts to this list are available to all. Ladislav, the guy who runs Distrowatch has posted on here before - and of course, he is welcome to do so :) So perhaps that is where Distrowatch got the information. It would seem logical - the message on there appeared after the posts on this list. I suspect Tobias is busy with his move currently, and will be unable to get involved in attempting to sort this out. Likewise, I suspect Andreas posted the message in the ftp server some time ago - and probably forgot all about it! Although Andreas is no longer actively involved in Yoper development, he does take an interest in what is happening - I would not like us to point fingers at Andreas - or any other person - over this. I honestly believe it is nothing more than an oversight. I am sure there was a reason for the message being there - maybe when the Yoper server was moved, or something similar. It is rather annoying that it has appeared on Distrowatch at this time - after all, we are gearing up for the release, However, I suppose Open Source means exactly what it implies - that we do not hide what happens on Yoper, even if it is a little frustrating! Hopefully, those involved will be able to explain a little more about what has happened - but until then I guess we need to just assume this is an oversight from some time ago.
