Fwd: GetDeb Project

[João Pinto]

Sebastien,
yes, the site engine uses a mysql db, with app/version/release/distro
information.

Our users are informed that they should not keep "~getdeb~" packages during
dist-upgrades.
We do not support distribution release upgrades.

We have sent a note last week about preparing for upgrades, including the
uninstall procedure:
http://www.getdeb.net/docs/uninstall.pdf

Thanks
