No is not a typo. The last stable version of puredyne is based on debian lenny, the new one we are cooking is based on karmic... We have outsourced most of the infastracture and packages repositiries in launchpad too. If you look back in the archives you will see quite a few emails with discussion on the reasons we did this. > > Also, in order to get all the packages on my new Debian system I wrote a > quick Perl script that extracted all the package names from the included > packages list and ran it in aptitude.
