And if you want to preserve an upgrade path from jaunty to karmic (I know you do, specially now that karmic about to be released) you may upload new and consistent versions to jaunty and karmic almost simultaneously. Note that $version+jaunty < $version+karmic, so it will upgrade fine. In the meantime, while we don't get the bugs fixed, you could use https://edge.launchpad.net/autoppa to automate this procedure. -- Celso Providelo <celso.providelo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> IRC: cprov, Jabber: cprov@xxxxxxxxxx, Skype: cprovidelo 1024D/681B6469 C858 2652 1A6E F6A6 037B B3F7 9FF2 583E 681B 6469
