Hey guys, We provide a single package because that's the easiest thing for our users. They don't have to think about which version of Ubuntu is running or anything else. We have fixed the package to work from all version from 8.04 to 11.10 even through different versions of GNOME. Obviously 12.04 isn't working right now because we're still waiting on what will happen here. Regarding Raphael's solution of using a crontab. We've already got a working auto-update system that works when you use our package. Why build another solution? And as I said before, we don't mind that Raphael made his package and is distributing it. The only thing we care is that when users install Ubuntu and go to their shell and type dropbox, they get a prompt telling them to apt-get install nautilus-dropbox and when they do that they get a un-upgradeable version of dropbox, that will have all of the support issues I mentioned above. Basically all we're asking is that Ubuntu not include this Debian package in its defaults. Thanks, David
