Wawwww I've made too many code improvements from 0.4.2 to now... And  
I'm not ready to release 0.4.4. Even if I freeze some features. I'm  
actually working on the ATC integration which is a lot a new code  
(that needed to be writtent and then tested/corrected).

Andreas, how many time do I have to send you the new source package  
(0.4.4) before it will be too late to have any chances to enter the  
stable Debian release ? If I have time to implement ATC interactions  
engine, FreeDiams will reach the 0.5.0 version and would be a better  
start for all collaborations on FreeDiams/EMR and drugs/interactions  
databases.

Does Ubuntu retrieve the Debian-Med work to its own repositories ?

Andreas, on a Debian 5.0 what is the line I need to add to apt.sources  
for me to install FreeDiams 0.4.2 from your repository ? I haven't had  
any success on installing debian sid inside a virtualbox. Debian  
installer does not find the HDD driver...
