[Vm-dev] Linux maintainers

[Bert Freudenberg]

Hi VM-Team, Dave,

what's your take in this? We somehow need to establish permanent  
contact with the maintainers of the "squeak-vm" package in various  
Linux distributions. They operate pretty much autonomously until now ...

Even if we get a fix into svn and Ian did a new release, there is no  
established procedure to make sure all the packages get updates.
