+
+The OpenLP project tries to bridge the gap between Linux distributions and itself by having people on the OpenLP team
+create and update packages for the Linux distributions. Having said that, as is usual for most established
+distributions, we can't actually get the packages into the repositories, we have to use a sponsor to do that for us.
+
+Unfortunately, in the case of Debian, our sponsor has been unable until recently to look at the package for OpenLP
+2.4.2. This means that Debian has been stuck at 2.4.1, and since our PPA pulls from Debian, we've been unable to update
+the PPA to 2.4.2.
+
+Thankfully, this week our sponsor was able to fit some time in to review the package, and we're glad to announce that
+our updated package has been pushed into the Debian repositories, and pulled into our Ubuntu PPA as well. For those of
+you on Debian or Ubuntu or Mint, you should be able to just run an update as usual, and get the new version of OpenLP.
+
+This only applies to Debian unstable, Ubuntu 16.04 and up, and Mint 18 and up.
