Newest version on remote site is 1.1.25, local version is 1.1.24 openastro.org: Newer version (1.1.25) available on remote site: http://ppa.launchpad.net/pellesimon/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openastro.org/openastro.org_1.1.25.orig.tar.gz Though you might want to ask your upstream to host their source tarball in a more sensible place. -- Andrew Starr-Bochicchio Ubuntu Developer <https://launchpad.net/~andrewsomething> Debian Maintainer <http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=a.starr.b%40gmail.com> PGP/GPG Key ID: D53FDCB1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
