Re: Hello / backports
Hi Antony,
I should probably advertise it on
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia
but this repo I'm maintaining:
deb http://apt.64studio.com/backports etch main contrib non-free
has mostly everything you are searching, and the packages get
backported automatically from sid when new versions pop up (both for
amd64 and i386).
Ciao!
Free

AG> vcf, however most of these appear to be fully developed.
