Vincent, I think in future could we avoid announcements like this on
cooker? If we were to have an announcement for every new release on this
list, it could get quite crowded.

Note that many maintainers either
-subscribe to the announce mailing lists for the software they maintain
-subscribe to freshmeat.net announcements for their software

If they don't, they at least get spammed by rpmwatcho every 2nd week with
their packages that are out-of-date (compared to freshmeat.net or Debian
or Redhat).

If some piece of software you use often is not updated within 2 weeks of a
new release (or if it's a critical update and we're near release), mail
the maintainer first to enquire the status.

For those interested, samba3-3.0alpha24 doesn't build at present on
cooker, it seems the quota interface has changed again (there is already
an inline edit in the samba3 package for 9.1 where it does build, same
inline edit doesn't work on cooker, but funnily enough samba-2.2.x built
fine ...)

Oh, and I will get around to pam_mount sometime ...

Buchan
