I appreciate and thank you very much for attending to my mail even while in
hospital. I wish you to get well.

Thanks.

When you get back to regular work one thing you may want to look at, is
updating the following pages

http://packages.sil.org/
http://packages.sil.org/ubuntu/

In additon to including all recent versions (for which pacakges are there
already but not mentioned) in the lists in these pages also, the location of
public key for authentication of debs needs to be shown.

No hurry of course. Get Well first
