I am having a minor problem, which, I believe may, in other ways, affect
a number of other people.
I use VMware Server on Feisty. When I tried to move to Gutsy, I found it
was no longer in the repos. I enquired and was told that the "partners
repository" was not yet in sync. So I am still waiting. Now, for all I
know, someone has decided not to include it any more, so I should
download it myself, or change to VirtualBox. Or, then again, maybe it
will re-appear tomorrow. It would be nice to know. And there must be
many other decisions to include or exclude components, which many people
would find it valuable to be aware of.
I did write to the man who edits the weekly news, and asked him if he
could include this sort of news. He agreed it was a valid question, but
it hasn't appeared. Can anyone tell me the authoritative source of this
sort of information ?
