Perhaps you could release a 0.8.0.1 tarball? I'm working on the python bits of this package at the moment. Another thing: What versions of python will this work on? Also, is the remuco module (base/module/remuco) supposed to be a public module or private module? Either way I think it should be okay if you release the sources (and build system) together with the tarball instead of the .jar file. Thanks. -- Chow Loong Jin
