Drupal 6.12-1.1 package available
We have just finished successfully testing the Debian drupal6 6.12-1.1 package on the 2009.06 release, and have updated our package archive to include it.
Drupal 6.12-1.1 is considered a security release by Debian, but requires a manual database schema upgrade, so appliances will not upgrade automatically for stability reasons. We highly urge you to upgrade as soon as possible:
apt-get update apt-get install drupal6
Note: This upgrade requires a database schema update, so after installation, follow the instructions at http://appliance_ip/update.php
Drupal 6.12 package available

apt-get update apt-get install drupal6
Note: This upgrade requires a database schema update, so after installation, follow the instructions at http://appliance_ip/update.php
Enjoy!
Drupal6 6.11 package available
We have just finished successfully testing the Debian drupal6 6.11-1 package on the 2009.03 release, and have updated our package archive to include it.

Release focus: initial release
Notes
- drupal6 includes a built-in update status module.
- when enabled could produce confusing/annoying version notifications.
- this is due to drupal6 being installed and updated via the apt package manager, instead of manually from the upstream tarball.
- it is recommended to subscribe to drupal security announcements (email and rss are provided).
- this release includes all updates included in the 2008.10.17-hardy-x86 releases, such as the new configuration console, and web management interface.
