Bug#721839: RFS: musl/0.9.13-2 [ITP]
Hi Kevin,

Just small additional tips: use specific versioning scheme in your PPA.
For example: 0.9.14-0ppa1~raring1. As you can see, this version is lower that
version in official Debian and Ubuntu archives. So once updated package will hit
into main archive, it will be updated in users systems.
I use this approach for a long period of time. You may find one of examples here:
https://launchpad.net/~tehnick/+archive/q4wine/+packages
Just look at "Newer version available" string.
Related Git-repo:
https://github.com/tehnick/q4wine-debian
Just look at git tags.
Best wishes,
Boris
