Hi,

The github update process was in fact always based on dev.open-bio.org. The
problem with  updates was caused by my "solution" to the AUTHORS file
re-occurrence
in github...

So it seems, that when I removed the AUTHORS file, new updates could not
make it to
github (there was an extra commit, that was not in CVS). Now, as I forced
github to accept
new updates, we have AUTHORS file in github again... (even though it's not
in CVS and not
in my git branch which is the source of updates...). That's weird and meybe
we will be able to
research this better during BOSC...

To my knowledge there are no other glitches like this one, but if you see
something strange, let me know...

the updates should be working now, the only remaining problem is the AUTHORS
file, but we can take care of it during BOSC
