Yes, I know, Phill, I think the period of intense development of features is ending now. So there will be a period of fine-tuning and finding bugs by testing special cases (particularly in the new module for persistence).
It is time to think about packaging into the debian repo. I did read the instructions for it some months ago, and it seems really overwhelming. I really need guidance for this, or maybe someone who takes mkusb as his/hers and manages it. I can still do testing and debugging, of course. Best regards Nio Den 2015-09-17 kl. 21:19, skrev Phill.
