Hi,
arch is in Debian stable and can be installed in subversions. It is a
GNU project hosted in Savannah.

Jonathan Walther ("krooger" in Debian) was helping us set up arch for
Savannah, but according to him we needed to have sftp working.

I spent some time working with Jonathan to get sftp working (I even
messed up the ssh configuration in the process :) But I then had to go
away in August and could not follow up the issue. Before I left, I
sent some private message to Mathieu explaining what we had been doing
with Jonathan, but judging from the thread at
  http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers/2003-08/msg00246.html
Mathieu did not get that message and I do not know what the current
situation is with sftp.

Cheers,
Jaime
