This new release of Jpilot has been out since May 08. Does anyone know when it will be available in the repositories? [The latest version in the repositories is 0.99.9.17-1 (hardy)] Or, has anyone downloaded it from the JPilot website and successfully installed it and got it syncing OK?

Stable Release Updates
Once an Ubuntu release has been completed and published, updates for it are only released under certain circumstances, and must follow a special procedure.
There is an automatically generated list of packages which currently undergo this process.
Stable release updates will, in general, only be issued in order to fix high-impact bugs.
BUT there are backports:
Ubuntu Backports
HOW:This is where Ubuntu Backports comes in. The Backports team believes that the best update policy is a mix of Ubuntu's security-only policy AND providing new versions of some programs. Candidates for version updates are primarily desktop applications, such as your web browser, word processor, IRC client, or IM client. These programs can be updated without replacing a large part of the operating system that would affect stability of the whole system.
When you need a package backported which is not currently available, create a new bug report in the Backports Product of Launchpad...
Backports is largely powered by users and volunteers. We would appreciate any and all community involvement, but ask that it be constructive towards the progress of Backports. Some suggestions include:
*Filing requests. We would not know what to do without your input
and you could try to make a backport yourself: DIY Backport
Before you edit, BACKUP !
