this would be a goal of mine, but it's hard to realize, in fact, for
several reasons, the biggest of which is if you're a developer in
the middle of europe (like Markus Wild, mw, the person who's the
amiga port's "person", is) who's actively hacking on the code,
it's a *PAIN* to have to edit/hack/commit every little change over
a non-fast link...
for binaries, perhaps; the reason it's not been done so far is that
there's no real FTP maintainer. (i guess i am, but i've better
things to do than track down "random" software releases...)
also, lamp does *not* have an unlimited amount of disk space... 8-)
