@alan: Knowing about the package interface just now, changing my vote. Don't be upset please, I'm just following rules and trying to help, there is no reason for criticizing me. :)

You are right, there is a BUG in the packages interface! It seems to be pulling the package description and bugtracker field randomly from the current version and the old broken version. If the description finishes with, "(This is the Easy Debian 'Stable Lenny' Fremantle version.)", you are seeing an old version. Don't vote me down for that version of the text and bugtracker link! Wait a while and refresh. The description SHOULD end with "Instructions and an automated installer are provided in the package."

Strangely, the page in downloads has all the information from this version of the package, even though it isn't in Extras yet. See that page for the correct info.

What's going on here? I reloaded the page, and the bugtracker link again contains "xsbc-bugtracer .." ??? Sorry for defacing this page by so many postings, but there seems something wrong with the maemo.org pages!

Weird - now I can click it, but it leads me to http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=34550. I'm sure, a few minutes ago it gave "xsbc-bugtracker: http://..."

'However, there is a typo in the link in that the (correct) URL is preceded by "xsbc-bugtracker", preventing it from open when clicked.'

No, there is nothing wrong with the bugtracker link in this version of the package. Previous packages had that problem, but I fixed that quite a while ago. The link on this page is the only one that counts.

easy-chroot and easy-deb-chroot are not only the most useful and powerful apps for the N900 provided by a community member, these packages and their users are enjoying an incredibly careful support by its developer. Voting it down for the bugtracker link is really ridiculous. No package has such a detailed changelog, for instance. However, there is a typo in the link in that the (correct) URL is preceded by "xsbc-bugtracker", preventing it from open when clicked.

Emanuele: You are wrong again. This package has a perfectly valid bugtracker link to the appropriate thread on talk.maemo.org. Users of regular bugtrackers can only wish for the kind of support I provide in that thread.

I am very upset at you. Please see my comment in the Easy Chroot package for more of my comments about your behaviour.

Voting down for mispelled bugtracker.

When testing and voting for this package, please also vote for Easy Chroot 0.3.0.
