Hello,
I just changed my SheevaPlug to Debian Lenny, and even using the SID/Expermental sources, the latest version of the package is 4.11.
I tried to download the v5 source and run it, but I wans't successful.
Any idea when a Debian (lenny) version 5 will be avail?

Most likely never. On Debian Lenny, your best chance is to try and use the Ubuntu PPA, with a small change to the usual instructions:
Instead of
Code: Select all
echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jcfp/ppa/ubuntu $(lsb_release -c -s) main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
you would have to manually substitute the
Ubuntu release name where it now says
$(lsb_release -c -s). Best choice is probably
hardy for systems running Debian lenny:
Code: Select all
echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jcfp/ppa/ubuntu hardy main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
Remainder of the instructions can be used as is. No warranty, but do report back so others can benefit from this info as well.

Whoops.
I had a large brain fart and misnamed my distro.
I'm actually using squeeze, not lenny.
I know squeeze is still a testing, experimental build, but it was damn easy to install on my Sheevaplug.
What should I use for this distro?
