This is a follow up to the previous post regarding Reporting bugs with Apport
Apport, version 2.2.3-2, has been pushed to experimental. There were some nice feedback that led to some more changes that I will talk here.
**Opt out: **As a developer, if you see the volume of reports to be annoying, you have the option to opt out of apport reports. To do this, you should specify the XBS-Apport: No field in your package ’s control file.

Many of the SAN components in Debian have me involved. So I think out to give an update on what the state of SAN would be in Debian Wheezy.
Open-iSCSI : Just uploaded a newer version to experimental which eventually will crawl into testing. It should fix all release goals for Wheezy. Please give it a good test
iscsitarget : Same goes here. This one is already in testing. Please test.

With the final package, [fcoe-utils](http://packages.qa.debian.org/f/fcoe-
utils.html), clearing the NEW packages queue, the Open-FCoE project’s Fibre
Channel over
Ethernet stack is
now in the Debian archive. I had anticipated to have access to FCoE hardware
by the time the packaging would complete but that didn ’t work out. It has
been delayed, hence the packages are in experimental. If you have access to
FCoE hardware, please test and provide your feedback.
