William Pitcock (aka nenolod, aka the guy who wrote Audacious, aka the guy behind atheme.org) has decided to, in spirit, respond to my earlier article about ESR and the Bazaar. Every good reply deserves a reply in turn.

Bug #90358 Please Read

So, I’m assuming this form of spam is target to people that use bug reporting systems.

I have no interest on packaging these anymore.

I’ve recompiled Paul Wise’s Synfig Debian debs for Ubuntu, until Ubuntu Universe inherits them from Debian SID. Just add…

deb http://mjr.iki.fi/ubuntu/synfig/ ./
deb-src http://mjr.iki.fi/ubuntu/synfig/ ./

…to your /etc/apt/sources.list and run apt-get update and you’ll be able to use them. Please note, the binary packages are for x86 only; you’ll have to build from source to get these to work on other platforms. Also note, this version of etl is broken on x86-64, but has been fixed in CVS.

Thanks mjr, for hosting them!
