Why is this not possible? 

I discussed this with the Ubuntu package maintainer for gnokii-smsd, and I
understand that I can go through a process called "Stable Release Update"
and this will allow a later gnokii version to be added to the Universe
repository. I was going to go through with this yesterday, but it sounds
like I may need to backtrack and do more testing / bug reporting first - I
don't mind doing any of this if it gets a later gnokii version in the
repo's.

I don't know much about PPA's, but would be happy to help where I can. I
shall get up to speed with what is required for this and see if I can get it
happening. 


Cheers,
Michael.
