[daip] AIPS without rsync?

[Kimberly Engle]

Hi Eric,

Awesome, thanks! One more thing though, my user would like the
31Dec07 frozen version rather than the new one. Could you make
that version available too? How long is "temporary"? Will this
disappear in hours or months, or somewhere in between?

I haven't carefully read through the install.pl script... is it
now possible for me to edit it and replace the rsync command with
ftp and then the install would work?

It would be great if you folks could allow some choice between
rsync, ftp, svn, or whatever. Thanks!! I'll give the installation
a go when my user gets here (funny how she needs it "right away"
then isn't here today) and let you know if I have any problems.
