I totally understand the question (in fact I was planning to post an update yesterday, fate decided otherwise)...and the answer is that I've been sick in the last two weeks (and still not recovered...), which made me make a temporary choice between my job and Erminig (couldn't find the energy to do both...). Anyways, today was also the culminating "stress-point" at work, after many weeks of preparation, so now I can relax a bit on that front, and devote some time to Erminig.

I agree with tuxfoo that making a .deb right now would not serve the community well, especially since the GUI is essentially done. It's just the integration of the GUI and core functionality that remains on the workbench, and this is the matter of a few hours of work.

I may revise the release plan and release a .deb version of Erminig with the GUI and the current core functionalities (i.e. without support of the recurring events) in a few days, so that I can get a higher rate of feedback on both fronts.
