[hobbit] Hobbit 4.0 RC6 now available

[Christian Perrier]

Nice to here that at least a solution for a "BB-style" server with
easy handling of upgrades will be possible for su who have precisely
chosen Debian because it is by far the easiest distribution to maintain..:)

He can act as a sponsor for the package while you are still the
package maintainer (and thus the one receiving the bug reports and
following the minimum general stuff for Debian developers to be able
to maintain the package).

Well, this does not prevent you to apply as a Debian developer if you
intend to maintain the package for a long time. This needs some
initial investment from yourself...and the process may seem quite long
and complicated but, well, several other "upstream authors" have done
so.

Another possibility is of course finding a DD with enough motivation
to maintain the package, for instance among your users. I'm afraid of
being myself a bit too overloaded to offer this however (and, moreover, I'm
not a hobbit user yet).

Dammit, I really should switch my BB server now...:)
