Dear Étienne,

thanks for looking into this.

It should be. Andreas had been packaging GNUmed for the last
ten years or so. Off the top of my head I don't recall
changes that would ask for a change in packaging
infrastructure, this being a maintenance release.

I should have been more precise.

1) yes, the existing 22.28 gnumed-server package _should_
   suffice because there are no semantic changes

2) however, there might be code cleanup in gnumed-common code
   which would also "affect" the -server package

3) yes it would have been less ambigous to bump the version

Theoretically, only the client is needed.

I'll upload 22.29 for good measure ;-)

Nevertheless, for the record: any 1.8.19 client will work
just fine with a 22.28 database, old or new...

Thanks,
Karsten
