Is there still a publically available LLNL distribution of NumPy?

Or, more precisely, now that NumPy has been spun off as a separate project, where should I look for updates to the Gist module? Is it still available?

xfiles.llnl.gov doesn't seem to be there anymore...

The older versions of the LLNL distribution, including the Gist module, continue to be available at ftp-icf.llnl.gov:/pub/python. There haven't been any updates to Gist in well over a year. We (Zane Motteler and I) have zero local customers for it, and a multitude of other programmatic responsibilities. We realize that it would be nice simply to dis-entangle Gist from the old distribution and make it available as a separate Python package, perhaps using Distutils, or not, or as an RPM, or as an SRPM, or as a Debian package. There is no time and no support for this activity. If you the reader would like to undertake the project, you have our blessing.
