Apologies for not saying anything about this before now.

When Debian had some of its servers cracked a while back all the stuff
in people's public_html directories on people.debian.org got removed
and we all lost our logins for a while. Since then i've not had the
time to recreate all the backports of packages needed to get rt3 for
woody.

There is also the fact that people are seeing such huge improvements
with perl 5.8.3 over any previous version of perl. This suggests to me
that I shouldn't really be encouraging people to use rt3 with perl 5.6.

As it stands I am not going to have the time for a while to get back
to this, (we may or may not want woody packages of rt3 at my work). I
would recommend that people seriously consider running a sarge box if
they want rt3 with Debian now. It has all the packages you need and
should be using to run rt3, with full support from myself and the
other maintainer of the request-tracker3 package.
