The files just hit the ftp-master a few minutes ago and will then be distributed out to the various Debian mirrors. The upgrade should go smoothly but you will probably need to upgrade the twentytwelve/twentyfourteen…

The Debian package of WordPress version 3.9.1 was uploaded to the ftp master recently. While the update was pretty simple, the upload took a lot more doing.

Damn you, unworking r8168
I really don’t know why ethernet device makers insist on making it hard for to use their products. Ethernet has been around for many, many years; surely its not too much to ask for drivers that “just work”. And so that’s the problem I currently have with my new computer. It has an onboard Ethernet…
