The upload scripts are ready. They upload to both sourceforge and mirror.whonix.de now.

• https://github.com/Whonix/whonix-developer-meta-files/blob/master/release/upload_repository
• https://github.com/Whonix/whonix-developer-meta-files/blob/master/release/upload_whonix_news_v4

TODO:

• #whonix-repository: Wondering if it should just switch from sourceforge to mirror.whonix.de, have a command line option to choose and/or separate screen.
• #whonixcheck Whonix News Download location: Wondering if it should just switch from sourceforge to mirror.whonix.de or try sourceforge as fallback if connection to mirror.whonix.de fails.
