Hi all,
I'm proud to announce the start of the lenny-backports distribution. All
contributors are now asked to provide new backports also for lenny-backports.
But that does not mean etch-backports is dead, we will continue support for
etch-backports as long as there is security support for oldstable (aka etch).
But remember that contributors are now allowed to add packages to etch-bpo which
have a higher version than in lenny (because they are allowed to add versions
from squeeze). So it is possible that there is no clean upgrade path from
etch + backports to lenny. If you don't want this please upgrade to lenny
or stop installing new package versions from etch-backports.
Thanks to the unoffical buildd network we are also able to provide autobuild
packages for the following architectures: arm, armel, amd64, powerpc, i386, ia64
and alpha. Possibly mips and sparc will follow. You can find more
informations about the buildstatus of a package at the buildd webinterface.
Thanks for your attention Alex - ftp-master of backports.org
