Understood.  We have a different system for maintaining confidentiality 
and licensed software from what we used at Red Hat so packages are ideal :-)

ftp.ecoscentric.com:/incoming is the place to drop the packages.

Just something that confirms you provided the code to us and that we can 
use it for testing/whatever provided we don't distribute etc (the usual 
confidentiality stuff).  We need to ensure that we cannot be accused of 
taking that which does not belong, IYSWIM.
