[epiar-devel] 0.5.0 Packaging (was: Re: epiar.net Contact Form Submission)

[Christopher Thielen]

FYI, given that I need to install a Ubuntu VM to help Dave, I'm going to
work on the packages for 0.5.0. I can potentially do them all if needed.

I'd like to get it released so we can get some press. I'll update the
screenshots online and work on the site a little bit, maybe send a
"press release" out to places like linuxgames.com and others.

After that, we can go full steam ahead on 0.6.0 if folks aren't already.
