Ok, perfect, as I was planning to use the development packages I guess I'll
get this fixed for free ... ;)

The 3.3 updated packages for ALL distributions seem to be shiping version
0.7.1 of pykolab, so unless packagers backport patches to older packages it
doesn't seem to be a Debian only problem.

Now that we are on that may I ask if there is a defined policy for kolab
releases that I can look at? It's just to know what to expect from the
different repositories... i.e. ¿when is a package on the Development
repository updated?  ¿Each day? ¿Each time the repo gets a new tag?

Thanks in advance,

  Sergio
