I don't believe that Ubuntu or Debian maintainers personally build their packages for all versions (Ubuntu breezy, dapper, edgy, feisty), and all architectures (i386, PPC, etc). -- Murray Cumming [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list [email protected] https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
