Today I packed the latest version from the Plone 2.0 final package. The 
debs are available as deb and deb-src at 
http://nathan.faho.rwth-aachen.de/debian/zope/

apt-get install plone2

CMF 1.3 and 1.4 are still incompatible. Plone 1.0 doesn't work under CMF 
1.4 and AFAIK a site admin must migrate a site from 1.3 to 1.4 before it 
works under CMF 1.4.
This is still a big problem.

Great, a little help is better than no help :)

Short infos:

* Leonard Norrgard (vinsci) and I (both plone developers) want to help 
building packages for plone, cmf and third party products

* I added some very basic debian package directories to the important 
plone and third party products

* My gpg key was signed by a debian maintainer about 2 weeks ago so I 
can sign debs.
