[Olsr-users] Debian/Ubuntu package updates

[Henning Rogge]

Hi,

do you think it would be feasible (maybe for the 0.6.5.2 upload) to
create a "v0.6.5.2_debian" branch where you commit all the patches
that got uploaded into the Debian release?

That would make it easier for us to help Debian users, because we can
quickly see what code they are running.
