I will create my own test PPA with my existing launchpad account. Albert, thank you for the suggestions (new scons target based on makeubuntu), sounds easy enough, I will take a look and see. I will update you all on status when/if we end up with a working test PPA. ~Bill On Mon, Feb 15, 2010

Hi guys, First, thanks for offering your time on this Bill, but before we proceed I just have one concern: I don't think we're interested in pushing our beta releases to anyone but testers. If you're using Mixxx for your weekly DJ gig, you generally don't want to use our betas, and you're going

Hello everyone. According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule it looks like the feature freeze is scheduled for Feb. 18 (and the Debian import for today, the 11th.) Since we're clearly not going to have 1.8.0 final in a week, I want to suggest packaging 1.7.3 ASAP and getting it to
