Hi Martin,

I'm regularly touring the bazaar-vcs.org site to keep current, and find
this statement:

"Debian Packages

Bazaar releases are regularly packaged into sid/unstable. Backports for
stable are made available a bit later on backports.org."

This is nice, but there is the problem that there are so many plugins
for a reason - and they are not on backports. OTOTH, I think I recall a
statement like the version of bzr and the version of a plugin should
closely match (or rather, if plugin X at version X.1 is written for bzr
version Y, then one should run it only with bzr version Y, and neither
Y-1 nor Y+1.

The (obvious) wish is to have more plugins provided via backports.org,
too...


Kind regards,
--Toni++
