hi all,

Well yes, i have been quite slow indeed, away from the keyboard for a
few weeks. I'm back and trying to speed up things from now on.

I do not know about PPA, but it seems quite similar to mentor for
debian. It would be good to build and test packages for ppc as well,
which i could do with my 'old' ibook.

I'll let you know more after I checked the latest svn trunk!

Cheers, Paul
