<p>
  The Miro 2.5 release had a couple of issues that affected users with
  large databases.  We've been working on those issues and helping those
  people out for the last couple of days.  This work culminated in a
  Miro 2.5.1 release.
</p>
<p>
  Because I was working out issues with Miro 2.5 release and helping users
  work through issues (more on that in a future blog post), I haven't worked
  on the Ubuntu packaging yet.  My current plan is to wait until Sunday
  (tomorrow) and do packages for Miro 2.5.1 skipping 2.5.
</p>
<p>
  I apologize for not getting packages out sooner, but I:
</p>
<ol>
<li>was busy fixing Miro 2.5 issues and helping users
<li>thought it'd be better to hold off until the Miro 2.5 issues were worked
    out
<li>discovered World of Warcraft
</ol>
<p>
  If for some reason I can't/don't push out packages on Sunday, I promise 
  I will do them as soon as I can.  I use Ubuntu, too, so this affects me
  as well as all of you.
</p>
<p>
  If for some reason this isn't satisfactory and you want/need it sooner than
  I can provide, I encourage you to build your own Miro from source.  
  There are instructions
