The long term plan is to allow downloading the patch, instead of storing it in the svn. I believe that there are more important things that needs attention. If you feel eager to do something right now, then ?store the patches on the mirror server and make sure you can to download and apply them using the current user interface. BR Ulf Samuelsson
