not quite. I actually recreate all the .iso's from the proto files in
replica/<package>/proto.

The reason is that in some cases, the root/ directories for some
contributors contain multiple packages, and I wanted to have one .iso
per package.

This is kind of a test idea, I decided not to clutter up plan9 site
with it. It may make sense to just leave it at sources however. It's
easy to. In fact it's there now:
contrib/rminnich/package
has it all.

9grid.net is on esnet, which is an OC192, which means it has lots of
bandwidth for users ...

but all the .iso.bz2 in the packages directory originates from sources.

thanks
