Tristan,<br><br>I understand the desires here better for 0.20-fixes to be tracked a little bit closer. Once Feisty is released, I have to sort out a bit of a mess with regards to webhosting, but I should be able to set up a weekly cron job that will build from the "latest"
0.20-fixes into debs on that repo for those that need/want it inbetween releases. I'll post back to the list with more information about this when its properly organized. As for that QAM fix, I'll make sure that it gets into the feisty packages before release next week.
