Yeah. I didn't mean that to be interpreted as "when will it hit stable 'foo'" but more, when will the first debs hit experimental so we can backport/PPA/etc. I'd personally like to see there be a focus on getting the most recent Puppet packages into the Debian/Ubuntu backport repositories. > > >> It doesn't quite seem ideal for so many people to be building their own... > > If you always want to run bleeding edge stuff on Debian or Ubuntu, your > choices are that, backporting, or PPA's, even if you're using the most > experimental repositories.
