[Neurodebian-upstream] [Nipy-devel] Standard dataset

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

let me try to see if it is google's fault -- I've got 6 copies of 
Michael's email and 10 of Matthew's... lets hope that there would be 
only 1 max from me :-P (I am dropping cross-posting since cannot post
with this email to nipy mailing list)

sidetopic: distribution infrastructure/authenticity/etc

Since Matthew you like to think global, you love GIT, and since this
thread and external projects have mentioned APT providing existing
delivery mechanism and infrastructure,  I think you would like having a
look at a recent idea of joining gpg and torrent (in Debian
context) presented on debian-devel list:

Distributed Debian Distribution Development
