    Researching your question, I was surprised to learn that there is
    now a package page for the latest &quot;stable&quot; release of the OS.=
=C2=A0 The
    one name on that page is Hugo Lefeuvre; it contains a link to his
    email. =C2=A0 Under &quot;External Resources&quot; is a link to <i><u>y=
