Good intentions etc. etc. I do very much want to get all the Ubuntu packaging changes for CouchDB into Debian, along with the latest and greatest version of CouchDB. I didn't feel as comfortable asking for svn snapshots of CouchDB to be uploaded to Debian, so we did a lot of uploads and testing of svn snaphots directly into Ubuntu. In about 3 weeks Ubuntu 9.10 will be released, and then we'll start syncing automatically from Debian again, which provides really good motivation to get the Debian packages caught up. -- Elliot Murphy | https://launchpad.net/~statik/
