wine users - Apr 2008 - Unable to access Debian repository.

Yesterday evening, I became unable to access http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/ . 
This has firstly become inaccessible to me for the purpose of finding out from
the Web pages, whether version 0.9.59 has been adapted as binaries for Debian
yet, which I personally need as a user of Kanotix, because the whole index
can't be called up.

But in addition right now, an 'apt-get update' fails to complete,
because this program is also unable to access your server. Further, the problem
did not clear itself overnight.

Yet, 'apt-get update' does report what the correct IP number of your
server is, with a data rate of 0 kBits/Sec, for which reason our DNS server here
in Quebec is not in doubt.

Could you please confirm, whether last night or this morning, you were in fact
having server problems?

It's responding pretty slowly this weekend. But I just went to it, the
front page loaded right up and it's still at 0.9.58. Yes, I'm hanging
out for .59 too ;-)

I don't like to leave information written, which turns into false info,
because the actual state of the system has changed.

Even though I don't actually get to my computers every day, I did check it
again tonight (April 9,) and found that I was able to access the server again.

Yet, the fact remains that a Debian-Etch runtime package for v0.9.58 has not
been put on the server yet.

And No, I won't be posting this fact when that happens... {:-)}

Of course I meant, that version 0.9.59 had not been put on the server yet. Oops.

Then again, it hasn't been put as the Etch version either, as I'm
writing this... I'm just itching to see, how many GUI problems were solved!

BTW, just so that this post doesn't bore too many people, I wanted to
comment on just having noticed recently, that Debian Etch has gone an unusual
path with how the maintainers implement widgets. Since under Etch, they wanted
to unburden users *and* developers from the need to install "wx,"
"Xt," and "OSF/Motif" separately, they created subsets of
each library.

Normally, an application would use one of the three libraries, but we don't
always know which one.

But the subsets of these libraries are supposed to handle 'most widget calls
and 3D GUI calls.' The idea that the fusion is supposed to take up less
memory, also appears to be what's 'less' about 'lesstif'
(instead of Motif.)

But I'm imagining, that especially with Bryce for example, it could really
be a problem.

But now somebody tell me. Is this really one of the problems causing the delay?
