xx.12.04 Handhelds.org Downtime
As you may have noticed Handhelds.org had a unscheduled downtime due failures with the server's RAID controller. For some time it looked like we would have lost two month of data on our source tree. We were lucky to have not lost any data. The infrastructure that is provided by handhelds.org is now fully restored and I would like to express my appreciation for the hard work of the Administrators.

In an attempt to clean up the server-root, all download directories] have been changed to a more logical layout. The feeds are now grouped into stable (1.0.3), testing (1.1.3) and unstable (1.1.4), following the distribution ([[OpenZaurus] or Familiar), the compiler used (gcc2 or gcc3) and the target device (Zaurus, Ipaq, Simpad etc).
