The text quoted above my question.

No, this is a question about the quoted text (which appears to imply
that the lack of a package management system  delays IPCop updates).

For the record, I still have IPCop 1.4.21 (plus a few manual tweaks)
happily plugging away on about a dozen boxes; so it would indeed be
churlish of me to complain about the frequency of IPCop updates and
I am not doing any such thing.

It was Mr. Espinasse who spoke of delays.  I'm just asking about that.
