I am in Cologne so I haven't really tried it yet. Will do tomorrow once I'm back home.

Packaging the alpha in experimental and the last stable release in unstable? That way a new stable version is already in the repos.

Software must be stable if it's being packaged for Debian. Having an alpha in unstable is risky. I'll check if there are nasty bugs being resolved in the current alpha. If there is no particular reason for shipping the alpha I will proceed with the latest stable. Best, --- Arian [email protected]
