Have any small servers here applied for a private FTB pack code and gotten it? What is the process like? How do you manage updates?

I run a small server (35 total players on whitelist, 3-5 on per day) using FTB Monster. I add a handful of other small mods to Monster that our core players like, and I also distribute a highly customized set of config files for all of the mods in Monster to enforce balance and the server theme of "Zombie Apocalypse".

I currently host a zip file with my config changes and mod additions to Monster which my players have to download and manually merge into their Monster installation.

Given not everyone finds that task easy, I'm trying to find alternative methods for distributing our configuration. Integration with the FTB launcher would be ideal, and I'm also experimenting with DVCS tools like Git or Bazaar to host a repository my clients can sync against.

Ideas are welcome!

Indeed. I was looking for feedback or experiences with the process from the server owner's perspective, hence I posted to the server admin forum. I also was asking about alternatives if the process had been poor.

I'll check out the private pack forum again though.
