Re: Packaging OpenEMR officially for Debian

["Sam Bowen, MD" <drbowen@oemr.org>]

Dear Andreas:

Good to hear from you again.  I loved the conference and was very glad 
to meet you in person.   I discussed this with Brady Miller after my 
return from Geneva.  One of Brady's concerns was the the ability of 
upgrading existing OpenEMR installations using a standard Debian 
package.  i was hoping that you would address this with him?
