Well, Debian is out of date too, only because I haven't made an official release. Ubuntu generally follows Debian for the official packages, as I understand it. Jose Sogo and I need to get Debian updated and I assume Ubuntu will just follow along. And this is more up to me than Jose. :-) As long as PPA is not a requirement to get into Ubuntu official, that's fine. > 2) I was under the impression that someone else was looking after > Ubuntu Barry packages I seem to recall someone waving their hand, but I can't find it in my notes anymore.

I'm working under the impression that Ubuntu PPA and Fedora 11 packages by Christopher Stover are allowed, and encouraged, to be snapshots from the git repo. This taks a bit of work on the part of the volunteer. I can create snapshots using the OpenSUSE Build Service, but it's not as clean as I'd like. Snapshots should be yum and apt friendly, and OBS is not, at least for apt. And not only that, but OBS has a tendency to omit packages that are already in the official distro, which means I end up rebuilding packages that are already there... a waste of my time. So far, you're the only PPA volunteer I know of for Barry (apologies for anyone I'm forgetting). I'd like to keep snapshot binaries available, if you don't mind. An automatic weekly snapshot pull from git would be ideal.
