[chirp_users] Ubuntu PPA version not up to date?

[Derek Tombrello]

Actually, I just copied the chirp-daily version to it's own directory
and I am running it from there. It seems to coexist ok with the
distribution version. I was just wondering why the PPA version was
out-dated...

not speak out.
Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was
neither, so I did not speak out.
Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out.
And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me."
