Full incident report:

Sword-1.6.2 is packaged and uploaded to developer-testing ppa.

Sword-1.6.1 in the stable ppa and in the maverick repository.

Xiphos 3.1.4 was packaged and uploaded to developer-testing. Then a
new source upload was done into the stable ppa.
The stable ppa had developer-testing in the build config. During the
xiphos build, in the stable ppa, sword 1.6.2 got pulled in from the
developer-testing. But sword 1.6.2 was not available from the same
repositories so we ended up with people using stable ppa and not be
able to apt-get the sword library used during build.

I do not know why stable ppa had developer-testing in the build
config. I do not remember why that was added. I could have even been
me.

I don't know how far sword-1.6.2 has been gone in the packaging:
API/ABI review, porting -Werror patches and finishing up the work on
using CMake during build and packaging python-sword binding.

I will check all current binaries wrt which sword they were build
with. As for sword-1.6.2 - when it is ready then it will be in stable.
Squeeze is frozen so xiphos 3.1.4 and sword-1.6.2 will be headed to
experimental and squeeze-backports.

Biblememorizer is a priority right now, since squeeze has it build
against Qt3 still.
