The good folks at Modevia volunteered to donate bandwidth and space to
the Inkscape project. So we took them up on their offer. We use A LOT of
bandwidth and space hosting these files. I don't think Bob or I have
much time invested in the hosting arraignments. The time comes in making
the builds and archives (which I haven't been doing for a long time). I
see nothing wrong with branching out to other hosts as long as they can
bear the traffic and provide reliable service.
We're welcome to use Launchpad for this. There are a few scripts out
there that will do automatic uploads to a project, we could probably
repurpose one for a daily script if someone was willing to setup the
builds.
I'm not sure about how the system setup by the Redhat folks was working,
but if someone will write the script to build the win32 nightlies on
Linux I have a box that I could run that on.
