Hi,
I am the maintainer for calendarserver. I have a query reg. preinst
script. I need to perform some action during preinst before the upgrade of
calendarserver happens from 1.x to 2.x. For this, I wrote the necessary

Thanks a lot for the prompt responses. I am a new maintainer (sponsored)

Thanks Philips. I've subscribed to the debian-devel-announce list. Is it
