The url (AVM)  where trusted packages should (!) come from is lagging
fcpci-suse93-3.11-07.tar.gz  . . . .  [07-Jul-05 01:00] 
fcpci-suse10.0-64bit-3.11-07.tar.gz  [05-Jan-06 13:20]  


While one wonders who is behind:
http://www.fltronic.de/~olly/avm/
Is one of the people working at fltronic doing someting during his
lunch-break? Is he allowed to do it, what happens it finds another job
or fltronics goed bust.
And (s)he allready writes:
"Leider habe ich keine 64 bit Architektur, sodass  ich nur die 32bit
Version zur Verfügung stellen kann."

Yes, i know, the source is there, so one can compiles it for any taste
one likes, but stil, this is one of the advantages on packman, to have
it all there.
