[Commotion-dev] Commotion Mesh Panel's menu

[Ben West]

Hi Hans!

Looks great!

I have an Ubuntu VM guest that had been sitting around not doing much, with
the ultimate goal of letting it serve as a handy testbed for precisely this
application.  That is, I hadn't uploaded the VM file to
code.commotionwireless.net yet, since there wasn't much to with it, until
now.

Could you confirm this is still the active and up-to-date repo for the
Ubuntu/debian commotion package?
