This release is not marked stable upstream, see http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php .

While I have updated the pkg-boinc PPA recently myself, I was contacted by a user of it asking if it was really necessary - I wasn't aware back then that it was marked for testing only by upstream.

Declining for Natty; 6.10.58 is still the upstream recommended version.

There is now 6.10.59 with a single patch to 6.10.58 that we had asked for.
The problem (crash at attach project) was found independently
by several groups over the last three months.

I will upload it to backports.debian.org ASAP. I would be lovely (for Ubuntu
and BOINC) if Natty could ship with it. Daniel is at the Ubuntu side.

Cheers,

Steffen

Syncing/uploading 6.10.59 sounds fine, thanks!
