I'm one of the main developers for Conduit, and am an active upstream dev
for synce (to be made a "project admin" i am told).

Thanks, this wasn't clear at first but one of the people I was helping to
install SynCE in IRC pointed it out - i was then able to set these packages
up:

https://launchpad.net/~synce/+archive

This has proven most useful and i'm going to be setting up synce-devel for
development snapshots. I understand this is acceptable use?

Joey sorted out my request on the same day as my original e-mail, but
thanks.
