Dear All, if you were there, thank you very much for attending. If you weren't, don't despair: the practicum exercises and the presentations (both sheets and actual talks) are online at http://www.cs.rug.nl/~jurjen/DebPackaging I won't change much there any more, unless somebody has suggestions. And yes, I know browsing the presentations with Linux/Firefox sucks. Mark Meinema is preparing a tube version. (Big thanks!)
