[Freeipa-users] Penrose and Velo

[Marc Richards]

Well its a shame that development has ceased but I guess you guys aren't 
seeing the customer demand you had anticipated when you bought Identyx. 
I think it would be good if you at least updated those fedorahosted.org 
pages with the current state of things.  Perhaps their is someone out 
there that might want to contribute or even just for curious onlookers 
like myself.

I was able to track down these binary releases. Are these the latest 
versions?

Penrose 2.0 - 
http://v1.safehaus.org:8080/display/PENROSE20/Penrose+2.0+Release
Velo 1.4 - http://sourceforge.net/projects/velo/
