Yes. Is there a way to automatically sign in on the website when running 
the mugshot client?

mugshot-1.1.33-1.fc6. Mugshot frontpage or my profile pages don't show 
any prominent links to download the new client. The client download page 
linked from the developer wiki page has outdated packages at 
http://download.mugshot.org/client/fedora-core-6/. Automatic prompt at 
http://mugshot.org/upgrade?platform=linux does point to the latest 
version though. There is no quit option in the client either. Killed the 
older version and I am running 1.1.40-1 now.  It works.  I will play it 
with some more and provide feedback.

As I said in FUDCon Boston  binary patches like Firefox (without root 
password) would be nice but I am probably dreaming. Having it the repo 
is a workaround.
