[chirp_users] ARM Distribution?

[Bob Nielsen]

Debian emphasizes stability over having the latest versions.  Once there 
is a package freeze prior to a new release, unless there are serious 
problems nothing will be updated until it is time for the next release, 
which is often more than a year.  The "testing" version is somewhat more 
up-to-date, while "unstable" will be even more so, but can still lag far 
behind the dailies.
