Hello Lachlan,

What I did was take the oficial 3.2.0b5 and package that (usual download 
from website).
I have now doubt that since then htdig has evloved quite a bit, but 
please understand that I am unvilling to package a CVS version unless 
its absolutely necessary.

As to the release Cycle, ht://Dig seems to evolve rather slowly, the 
team is committed to providing the best possible quality. What would 
help me most would be the ht://Dig team releasing a snapshot of 
development at least twice a year. I could then package this snapshot, 
and would be sure not to run into the usual problems enocountered with 
CVS. (Something running today may be broken tomorrow)

I am therefore waiting for the ht://Dig team to release something that 
can be considered at least as stable as the 3.2.0b5 (of december), and 
that could undergo some optimisations for speed.

Please understand that I am under pressure from the debian team. If 
Sarge is to be stable, the version included in sarge should be at least 
as usable as the version in woody now (3.1.6). If 3.2.0b5 (or a later 
release) cannot fullfill that, 3.1.6 will be included, with all its 
issues (I have heard of some amok running htdigs).

So that breiefly is my situation.

Robert Ribnitz
