[rt-users] Debian package status

[Dominic Hargreaves]

I am planning to upload 4.0.10 to experimental in the next week or
so. As for multiple concurrent versions, this isn't something the
Debian packages are suited to. If you have a need for multiple concurrent
versions, you will need to look at other options. On other hand,
as long as you aren't using mod_perl in the same apache instance, you 
can quite happily run multiple instances of the same version;
just make sure the configurations point to different databases
and cache locations.
