Hi! In Ubuntu/Debian repository there are new TinyOS 2.1 packages. But they can be still not installed if I use also standard packages (gcc-avr,..). I join to Jan: while standard compilers/libs/tools can't be yet used with T2.1 it would be great to have T2.1 and all tools in separate folders, so it would be possible to work with the latest TinyOS release and also with the latest microcontrollers from AVR (e.g. ATxmega), appropriate compilers/libs/tools.
