[linux-minidisc] [ANNOUNCE] linux-minidisc is now in Debian

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz <glaubitz@physik.fu-berlin.de>]

Hey there,

I am very pleased and proud to announce that linux-minidisc has
finally been upload into Debian. This means, from today on anyone who
is running Debian unstable can now easily install qhimdtransfer and
the command line utilities without having to resort to external
package repositories.

A simple:

> apt-get update && apt-get install qhimdtransfer minidisc-utils

will install both the command line utilities and qhimdtransfer onto
your Debian box. However, since the packages were just installed into
the unstable repositories and Debian testing is currently in its
feature freeze, linux-minidisc won't be part of the Debian Wheezy
release but its successor Debian Jessie.

There is also currently a bug in the qmake project files which prevent
a successful build on any FreeBSD platform, this includes the Debian
kFreeBSD blends. We will fix that in the next upstream release.

As for Ubuntu users, they have to wait for the release of Ubuntu 13.04
(Codename "Raring Ringtail") for linux-minidisc to be included. It
will then even be available for download through the Ubuntu Software
Center.

Thanks a lot for everyone who made this happen :).

Cheers,

Adrian
