As most of you probably know, Armory is now in the Debian testing and unstable repositories. So it looks like Armory is going to be in Debian Jessie, the next release of Debian.
The next step is to make Armory available to people running Wheezy, the current release of Debian. But doing so requires more work on my part, and I only want to do so if there are people that would actually make use of it. That is why I created this poll.
Note that you would have to enable the wheezy-backports repository either by editing /etc/apt/sources.list or through your GUI software manager. That is because it is not possible to get new software into Wheezy itself. Backports are versions of software from testing recompiled in a stable environment so that they will run without new libraries.
Please only vote if you run Debian or a derivative distribution that uses Debian repositories.
Thanks,
Joseph
