Re: Htdig 3.2.0 in Debian Sarge?

Greetings all,

I think that sounds very good. On a general plan, do interim releases 
about 3 times a year. I will then package these interim releases for Debian.

I'll try to get the htdig package split in two versions, a new (patched) 
3.1.6, which I will also backport to the current stable release ('Woody')

On the other hand there'll be the 3.2.0 branch. In this branch I'll 
insert some messages during installation that, while offering new 
features, it is still being developed, and hasn't been tested as much.
