Hi Oli,

I think the comments regarding Debian are a little bit misleading. There
are two different things - development and packaging platforms.

If we talk about development then unstable (sid) and testing (wheezy)
are the relevant distributions. If you really want to use stable for
development then you can install newer version via apt preferences. So
if you think about a more up-to-date package base then you can use
Ubuntu in general, Debian unstable or testing.

If we want to create packages then the correct Debian build platforms
can be stable, testing or unstable. This depends on your requirements.
Today I think Debian testing would be the best for OpenXPKI. It supports
Perl 5.14 and libmoose-perl.

BTW the Linux notebooks in my data center unit use Debian unstable ;)

Debian and Ubuntu are both used in large installations. It is more a
question of support than of robustness which distribution you prefer.

I see actually no need for a decision. If you build the packaging stuff
on Ubuntu LTS then it should be no problem to migrate it to Debian. I
personally think that it is much more important that MANIFEST and
Makefile.PL are up-to-date. Even "make test" has a higher priority in my
eyes.

Best regards

Michael
