I know the advantags of NM 0.8 and already started work on packaging it. Yet it needs modemmanager, for handling (UMTS/GSM) modems. There is an ITP for that [1], but no package yet. Without modemmanager being available I won't upload NM to unstable, as this would be a major regression. I will upload 0.8 rc to experimental soonish though. So, the best way you can help getting NM 0.8 into unstable is to help getting modemmanager into unstable. I won't package or help package modemmanager, as I already have enough packages to look after and no hardware, so I could reasonable test the functionality of modemmanager. So help in that regard is most welcome Cheers, Michael [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=546587 -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
