Anyone else notice that the instructions for adding the wicd
repositories etc., are no longer listed on the download page?

http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php

shows:

Non-Jaunty versions of Ubuntu (Intrepid, Hardy, etc) or Jaunty users who
want the latest updates will have to add the Wicd repository to the
Ubuntu package manager. To open the package manager in Gnome, go to
Administration > Synaptic Package Manager. When it appears, go to
Settings > Repositories > Third Party Software > Add..., and enter the
following line:

    deb http://apt.wicd.net hardy extras

where gutsy is your version of Ubuntu in lowercase (dapper, edgy,
feisty, gutsy, hardy, intrepid). You'll also need to add the key used
for signing Wicd by running the following command in a terminal:

    wget -q http://apt.wicd.net/wicd.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

Now, click Reload, and wait while the package lists are downloaded. Now,
search for "Wicd", and right click on it. Select Install, then press
Apply, and Wicd will automatically be downloaded and installed for you.
This will also keep you automatically up to date with the latest and
greatest version of Wicd. Please note that this will remove
network-manager, which is the default GNOME network manager and may
cause loss of network connection temporarily.

I wonder if Karl has been messing with the download page like he did
with the wiki :-) ??
