[gecode-users] Who submitted Gecode to sourcearchive.com?

[Guido Tack]

Hi everyone,

it seems that sourcearchive.com just automatically downloads new  
Debian packages, unpacks them, and runs doxygen on the result.  That's  
of course a pretty useless service, but we can't do much about it.   
I'll ask the administrator to add a robots.txt to his website, so that  
the docs are not indexed.

Cheers,
	Guido
