I can put any files on the server and can reshuffle them if needed,
but you need to send me some kind of specifications what exactly you
need. I can also put a nixos package to the garden, but you need to
prepare it (and possibly provide the proper binaries). Try to shuffle
the files on your local machine and play with it to see if it works.

Would you like to provide sources or binaries?

Man pages? Improve mtx-update.lua? Some other things as well, I'll try
to move everything to the new server in some reasonable time.
