OK... but shouldn't we be using a wiki service that allows posting of
more general files since we are dealing here with support or
extensions to BackupPC that typically is written in perl or bash (or
in my case also a one-liner cmd script)?
I guess we could link to someplace else but that has two problems:
1. There is no "natural" place to host such files and I don't even
know where I would put them.
2. It makes it hard to back-up the wiki, ensure consistency, do
version control, etc. if important scripts are stored in (random) 3rd
party links.
I don't know anything about Wikis but I would have thought that such
functionality would be available for open source projects which often
by their nature have multiple code contributors and extensions that
are not part of the core tree.
