La(t|m)est news

19 May 2004
It has been a while since i could dedicate some time to the archive. I uploaded right now a new version of iptables package that include support for IPv6 connection tracking (USAGI) and the two kernel patches for 2.6.5 and 2.6.6. There is a KNOWN ISSUE!
01 Oct 2003
A lot of things happened... most of the archive is now under CVS, and more new things will appear soon. In the meantime, we have a new mirror in Brazil.
13 Apr 2003
Finally 5 spare minutes to dedicate to the web pages. A lot of work was done in the past month.
ssh is now IPv6 enabled by default in main/sid and it has been removed from the archive.
A full apache + ipv6 test is in progress to verify the possibility to include it in main. Check here for the status, that looks really promising right now.
proftpd 1.2.8: unfortunately, the pkg in main has lost ipv6 on the way due to several merging problems, but upstream has started the official implementation that should be included in 1.2.9.
XFree86 + ipv6 has been deprioritized for several reasons, including my lack of time for testing new patches and releases.
A lot of Debian Developers are now using the stat section to check the IPv6 status of pkgs and to update their own. This was really the best response we could get back from the community. We are lacking resources, this is a fact that we are facing. The good side of it is because more users and people are asking for more packages and tools or bug fixes on already existing packages. On the other side people provide always less help and we cannot keep up on everything by ourself.
A new very fast mirror is now available in Florida thanks to Scott Walker.

stat section officially announced! "Houston this is Apollo 13 - We are ready to go"
03 Mar 2003
Removed ucspi-tcp-src from the archive. Uploaded a new version of XFree86. The stat section is close to go live and be official.
23 Feb 2003
Started a round of package removal. First to leave the archive is ucspi-tcp-misc due to licence problems that noone in the ipv6 stuff noticed before. ucspi-tcp-src, samba will follow if noone will adopt them .
10 Feb 2003
Back from FOSDEM, we got another nice result back. drac is now ipv6 patched in main. Noel made the upload straight forward with a nice comment (#172133). Im glad that our team starts to reach certain results and get recongnized around. Thanks again Noel!

Well, it took more than three days, but finally Fabio's server is resurrected. In this moment he's busy with hammer and saw, cutting away some metal from inside a case, because his latest 31337 motherboard is so big it wouldn't fit, and I'm so bored after a day at work that found funny stabbing him on the back with this lame comment. New packages will be uploaded as soon as Fabbione gets the chroots up again, later today or tomorrow maybe. Have fun -- ik5pvx
28 Aug 2002

Found two small bugs in the "core" system. They need to be fixed asap. The system will accept uploads but they will not be pushed automatically in the archive and the autobuilder needs a better version checking engine.
