There is a new release candidate, this includes many of the new 1.8 features now, detailed in emails on dev list: http://list.resiprocate.org/archive/resiprocate-devel/msg08006.html http://list.resiprocate.org/archive/resiprocate-devel/msg08008.html I've tweaked the main binaries (repro and reTurn) to write PID files and daemonize themselves, and the config files are now more UNIX friendly, e.g. they support /etc/ssl/certs now As it is a release candidate and not an official tarball, would you be willing to act as a sponsor and upload it to experimental? http://mentors.debian.net/package/resiprocate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
