+ <p>As part of my investigation on how to improve the support in Debian
+for hardware dongles, I dug up my old Mark and Spencer USB Rocket
+Launcher and updated the Debian package
+<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/pymissile">pymissile</a> to make
+sure udev will fix the device permissions when it is plugged in. I
+also added a "Modaliases" header to test it in the Debian archive and
+hopefully make the package be proposed by jockey in Ubuntu when a user
+plug in his rocket launcher. In the process I moved the source to a
+git repository under collab-maint, to make it easier for any DD to
+contribute. <a href="http://code.google.com/p/pymissile/">Upstream</a>
+is not very active, but the software still work for me even after five
+years of relative silence. The new git repository is not listed in
+the uploaded package yet, because I want to test the other changes a
+bit more before I upload the new version. If you want to check out
+the new version with a .desktop file included, visit the
+<a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/pymissile.git">gitweb
+view</a> or use "<tt>git clone
+git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/pymissile.git</tt>".</p>
