But changing packaging style has a higher priority for me than bumping to next stable release: I really want more people to help package for Debian, and the only one really interested (you!) have tried and failed for a year now, due to the current packaging style. Also, I want to keep 0.82.x for Debian, to offer an environment for Uruguay and others still using that branch. Also as an excercise in how to get package dependencies and conflicts right when not only handling multiple concurrent _source_ packages but also _binary_ packages. >> >Debian now contains the most unstable sugar release there is... >> >> This comes as a big surprise to me.

Per-user downloading works in 0.82.x too (except for non-backwards-compatible activities, but that's not a bug in Debian). >* Package more activities :) The only solution to too few activities packaged! - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkmUzMAACgkQn7DbMsAkQLiRfwCgme1fCTFcklm845I5qhJot5Q2 8ggAnAhxq4NjwEtz2yrXHprdOxEgHOUb =e2yu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
