Just as a side note, I have just released a package of 0.79.2 to the
experimental distribution of Debian.
I don't know why, but I read what you wrote above as if the recommended
version would be the 0.79 branch. Most proabably I got confused.
Anyway, Carsten, the debian tree is at
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-opt-media/dvdisaster.git
and I have some patches at
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-opt-media/dvdisaster.git;a=tree;f=debian/patches;h=947b65
that apply cleanly to the 0.79 branch. Perhaps you might want to
incorporate some of those. Yes, there are some patches there that I told
you about in an earlier e-mail, but there are some updated versions of
others.

OK. I think that I can prepare a package of that, but it would be easier
for the purposes of Debian if I uploaded another one to the experimental
distribution with the version greater than 0.79 (otherwise I may have to
introduce what we call an epoch, and that's a nasty artificial thing).

Do you have any idea (just an estimate, not a precise date) of when you
may release 0.79.3? I want to keep tracking you closer with dvdisaster
than I did in the past.
