I got curious about how it really was, so i did some searches in the
list archives. I figured it _should_ be in the debian-devel list...

It seems I only _modified_ (or rather contributed patches) to the script
made by Craig Sanders (autoup.sh). And the more I looked, the more I found
that all my patches was thrown out (using ncftp which wasn't free/open
enough etc). But to my 'defence', it WAS after all seven and a half years
ago... I've contributed a lot of patches to a lot of projects. Can't remember
them all


I withdraw my claims.
