Re: [Opensync-devel] [codehelp@debian.org: Status of opensync in Debian - mass removal very likely]

[Chris F. <cd...@fo...>]

Thanks Harald.

I've responded, which can be read here:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/03/msg00104.html

Opensync might not make it into Debian.  But I am planning a separate
apt-get repo for opensync and some of the plugins.  So Opensync users
won't be completely left out in the cold.
