Thanks,

 I'm also using Debian Linux. I did not know that he collected the patches. Then
 I grab that version and compile it for the other platforms (Irix, Solaris, Aix)
 We still using 1.6.3 on a lot of machines.

 The same situation here. We have not build a deb package for cfengine 2.0.
 The most programmers are a little bit lazy ;-)
