No worries - no mess. I was worried this might happen - in the change
over from "getting started" to regular releases.

I'll update the wiki with the standard details - I should have done
this before. The main difference is removing the "initial repository
setup" steps. Sorry I didn't get to this before. The process can be
quite confusing.

I haven't started this yet. Do you want to do it?

Lots of things!

There is the bug list, and there is also the later migration to zeromq3.

To me the migration to zeromq3 is the most daunting. Maybe you could
you try and figure out the process for building against zeromq3 rather
than zeromq 2.2 as we do now? But this might be difficult (I think it
will be for me)...

If you wanted a more approachable one to get started, the bug about
the init.d script needing a clean up looks achievable.

I think the best would be to start with the init.d script
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=692066) then go from
there.

Cheers,

Joe
