Hi!

My RSS feed just alerted me to the article "Grml packages in Debian" on
the developer blog.
http://blog.grml.org/archives/358-Grml-packages-in-Debian.html

I would like to point out that removing the packages from grml-testing
leaves many people out of updates for a long time (until the packages
have arrived in Debian Stable and some Ubuntu release).

Plus, the grml2usb page http://grml.org/grml2usb/ still points to
grml-testing.

Please put the packages back into grml-testing and find a way to avoid a
clash with Debian and Ubuntu repositories.

Thank you,
Lupe Christoph

We're currently working on mirroring the (source) packages from unstable back into grml-testing.
A course of action has been decided and hopefully our ftpmaster will find time to implement this soon.

We'll probably still clash with the Debian repositories, but there isn't a lot we could do about that.

Our ftpmaster has found time to implement this :-) (Thank you,
Alex.)

grml-testing will now always have the latest version of all grml
packages, including those that are uploaded to Debian unstable.
There is a slight delay of up to 6 hours involved.
