Hi,

It's been a couple of weeks already, and I still have not uploaded
0.8.x into Debian - I know many of you (thanks!) have Debian as your
distribution of choice, so I think I should explain a bit.

I noticed there were several shortcomings on the quality of the work I
did as a packager, mostly regarding the transition from 0.5.x to the
current release. As many of you know, Debian has already entered the
freeze towards our next major release, Lenny - Just before Cherokee
0.8 was published. Our release policies mandate that we should stick
with the version currently in the archive, so I am not yet uploading
0.8. 

As I said, there were several pitfalls for 0.5->0.7 upgrades, and some
other Debian policy aspects I had not taken care of
(i.e. byte-compiling the Python modules for the administrative
interface upon installation). The Release Team asked me to do an
upload with those aspects fixed, and only when that version is
accepted into Lenny (which I expect to happen during this week), I
will upload 0.8 into Unstable.

Of course, I have found some (minor) details regarding some of the
scripts' workings - I will send them over here as soon as I'm sure 
what I'm doing is correct ;-)

Greetings,
