[Buildbot-devel] Updated Debian packaging

[bertagaz at ptitcanardnoir.org]

Hi,

Actually, Andriy already took care too to package more recent version of
buildbot for Debian (see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=587313)

It's uploaded on mentors.debian.org and need some review before being
accepted. He is already in touch with the Debian python team for them to
help him with this package.

I guess if you intend to work on packaging, best would be to communicate
with Andriy, he also has setup a git repo on github [1] and has some project
for the package. 

That would be a shame to do the same work on debian and ubuntu and having
their packages diverging too much.

bert.
