Re: [Savannah-hackers] savannah.gnu.org: submission of HUF Utility Framework

[Loic Dachary]

        Hi,

        Could you please submit your project again with a URL to the
current distribution ? My understanding is that
http://www.e.kth.se/~e93_daw/vhdl/huf.zip only contains sample code, not
the actual project distribution.

        Thanks in advance,
