Some Unofficial Debian GNU/Linux Packages

Being a system administrator and user of some Debian GNU/Linux systems also means that you sometimes have to backport an unstable version of a package to Debian stable or fix or enhance a package. BTW, the "official" list of unofficial Debian package repositories is located at apt-get.org.

If you have any problems with one of my Debian packages, please contact me first (because I might have messed something up) before bothering the upstream author.
