(mgp-users 00033) a request about snapshots...

[Luigi Rizzo <luigi@labinfo.iet.unipi.it>]

Hi,

from here at least, the site with mgp snapshots is almost unreachable
at all times (whereas it works from freefall... but i cannot do much
about this). Since the differences between the various snapshots are --
presumably -- relatively small, at least judging from the file sizes,
would it be possible to do one or both of the following:

  + put diffs between one snap and the next one on the ftp site;
  + send such diffs through email to the mgp-users list, at least when
    the msg is small. This would also serve to remind people that the
    list (at least the non-japanese one) is not dead...

	thanks
	luigi
