+Feisty is released. Pages updated accordingly.

The hard drive of the server was replaced today after it began to act
+up. Most stuff should be up and running again. I accidentally deleted the
+info about new packages though, so that will be not reliable for the next
+few days.
+
Added edgy-backports to the homepage and the search forms
+
+
+

Add feisty. The changes for the edgy release were already done some days ago.

The "Bug reports" links now correctly point to Launchpad for all packages.
+Thanks to all the people that reported this error to me.
+
I added an robots.txt to ban some people trying to
+mirror the site by means of wget -r. If forever reason
+you need to mirror the site please contact me by mail so we can do
+this by other means that won't stress the server as much.

+Finally make dapper the default for searches and add edgy. Sorry for the delay.

+I hope everyone had a good start into the new year. Some small status
+updates:
+
+
While looking at the log statistics I noticed that apparently
+packages.ubuntulinux.org also points to my server
+without me knowing. I fixed the apache configuration so that it now
+knows about that and handles it correctly.
+
Linking to a CSS file on the official Ubuntu homepage
+was a bad idea and the page had some glitches when it disappeared.
+Most of the issues should be fixed by now.
+
Sorry for any performance issues with the site. My little server
+is not always able to handle the many hits of this site (close to
+2,000,000 per month). I guess I will have to search for another
+hosting solution in the near future.

+Changed all defaults to point to breezy
+
+

The contents files are updated again, so I removed any warnings
+and added the appropriate links back
+
The "Check for bug reports" links now point to Launchpad for
+universe/multiverse packages. Suggested by
+j -at- bootlab -dot- org.
+
Finally, I migrated to the "new" layout. Comments and Patches
+about the remaining quirks welcome.

+I've merged the new changelog to HTML conversion code from the Debian
+branch. I still have no idea how to handle the requests to link Ubuntu
+bugs to the Ubuntu BTS and Debian bugs to the Debian BTS. Suggestions
+welcome.

I've added a warning to this site about the outdated Contents
+files in the Ubuntu archive which make the contents search completely
+useless for anything after warty. I've actually no idea whom to ask
+about this since I don't seem to be able to find out on the Ubuntu
+web site who is ftp-master in Ubuntu?
+I have begun to work on integrating the current Ubuntu web design with
+my pages. There are still some issues to work out but as a teaser I
+already converted the front page. Feel free to mail me with comments
+on how I could use the new layout better.

+hoary is released and now this fact is also beginning to show on this
+page. Please report all errors you find with the new breezy pages.
+
+
2005-04-06
+
+The transition should be completed by now and I've installed some
+rewrite rules so that old URLs should also point to the new location.
+The changelog extraction script is still running so there are still
+some (more) broken links. Please report all other problems you might
+encounter.

+From tomorrow on this site will be available at packages.ubuntu.com.
+The necessary setup is done on both my side and on the side of the
+ubuntu people but I will use the occasion for some configuration
+clean-up and a full rebuild. Stay tuned ;)

On request of the MOTUs I've added links to the build logs for
+hoary packages.

Also, the Portuguese LoCoTeam (hmm, Ubuntu teams have
+all very l33t names ;) asked me
+how to translate the pages. Here my answer:
+
+
+
At http://cvs.infodrom.org/packages.debian.org/po/?cvsroot=debian.de
+you can find some .pot files. Please translate them and send them back
+to me (You may want to take a look at the translations available at
+http://cvs.debian.org/webwml/portuguese/po/?cvsroot=webwml
+especially for files like langs.pot). This will ensure that at least
+the constant strings on all the pages are translated (Some of the
+strings in these file are only needed on packages.debian.org)
+
+
The translations of package descriptions I took from the DDTP (Debian
+Descriptions Translation Project) which seems to be rather inactive
+lately. Unless this is fully revived or another similar project is
+created there is little I can do on this front.
+
+
+
Thanks to all people that provided me with positive feedback about
+these pages.

I talked briefly with Daniel Silverstone of Canonical at
+FOSDEM. He said that Ubuntu
+will get his own Packages page, but It will be a while.

In the last two days there were several reboots of the server
+needed (kernel upgrades, activation and testing of a new rescue
+system). Sorry for any inconviences this caused.

There are changelogs and copyright files available now. I also
+added links to the Ubuntu bugzilla, but I'm not sure yet that they
+work completly. Feedback welcome. (Changelogs and copyright files
+may be missing for some packages since I can only mirror the
+i386 and powerpc debs due to space constraints)
