Hello,
I've a suggestion for Christian Marillat to avoid every trouble with debian project in the future:
Get familiar with rpm and ask Packman people to support that team.
I'm sure, this new job would be a more grateful one.
In the past I've used mm-repo, now I do not, but have a few manually downloaded packages in use, appart from that I think a lot of users have this repo active.
Okay, every third party stuff can be dangerous for a proper debian installation but the sid factor also can be dangerous and it seems that a lot of sid users are able to handle booth, the sid factor and Marillat's repo.
German spoken: Da wird auch heißer gekocht als gegessen :-)
Kind regards,
Holger
