Done: new ("menardi") now in experimental: http://packages.debian.org/src:asterisk-prompt-it Upgrading from Squeeze (or from current Wheezy) 20060510-3 should still work - the dummy package asterisk-prompt-it will pull the right one. In case someone has already installed asterisk-promt-it-menadri: The "menadri" and "menardi" variants are co-installable. I gave a slightly higher priority to the alternatives of the newer "menadri" package, but the user will have to know of the new name. I hope it will not exist for long and thus no special handling for that case will be needed. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir.co...@xorcom.com +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.co...@xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com iax:gu...@local.xorcom.com/tzafrir -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
