Released nbd 2.7, fetched hardware

I released a new upstream version of the NBD userland utilities today, with some urgent fixes. Some stuff that was already in that release includes some portability fixes (so that it should now build flawlessly on the Hurd and FreeBSD), better documentation, and a code audit (which, luckily, did not reveal any horrors). Obviously, I also uploaded a Debian package, available from your local mirror RSN(tm) (which reads as "tomorrow", because I only just uploaded it, so that's after dinstall time. sorry.)

Earlier today, I went to the home of a kind guy who donated some m68k VME hardware. That's cool, since we now have VME stuff again; before today, the only other Debian Developer known to have ever had m68k VME stuff was Nick Holgate (who actually wrote much of the required software to load Linux on 68k VME hardware, such as vmelilo). But since he's no longer very active in Debian, we lacked a VME tester. Thanks to this donation, that's no longer the case.

The box is now standing in my room, and I'll be testing out some stuff (such as debian-installer) later this week; probably during the weekend, but it might depend on some other factors.

We'll see.
