Yeah, we moved Netrek to Launchpad and the greater community involvement has been fantastic. Well, at least we get each release packaged within days instead of five years. By the way, there is a PPA already for a recent version of Xastir, there are Launchpad moderated bug reports for Xastir and they point it out. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xastir/+bug/492867 (As upstream for pptp, poptop (pptpd), and Netrek, I love digging in the bug reports at the distribution level, they are such an inspirational source of fixes.) If you need something more recent, you could ask Kamal Mostafa to package again. If someone thinks there should be more frequent releases, and the release engineer can't afford to do them, then anybody could volunteer to release tarballs of CVS for packaging. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
