Folks,

Thanks for the feedback on this topic. We've decided to just have our
own machine setup for hosting the required repostiories.

Just a note on Sourceforge/Savannah hosting. It would be nice if there
is a HowTo [with step-by-step instruction] on setting up mercurial
repo with any of these sites - on mercurial Wiki.

thanks,
Satish
