sqlmap in Debian package repository

sqlmap version 0.6.4 Debian package has been officially accepted in Debian repository!

As for every new Debian package, I firstly packaged it, opened an ITP wishlist bug on Debian bug tracking system, uploaded it to Debian mentors repository, found a Debian developer to sponsor it and upload it on the Debian queue of new packages and finally the package has been accepted by one of the Debian FTP masters in the Unstable tree. In a few weeks it should pass to the Testing tree and hopefully for next official Debian release to the Stable tree too.

Thanks Pierre Chifflier for sponsoring it and Mark Hymers for accepting it.

As soon as I will release sqlmap new stable version 0.7 I will package it and provide it with the Debian sponsor to upload it straightaway.
In the meanwhile if you are running Debian unstable (codename: sid) you can enjoy sqlmap by running:
apt-get update
apt-cache show sqlmap
apt-get install sqlmap
sqlmap -h

UPDATE - May 18, 2009: sqlmap has been migrated also to Debian testing (squeeze).

Good job man.

I couldn’t help noticing that no one really comments here, maybe there are all just lurking here (like me).

I just wanted to give you a heads up and tell you, your tool is awesome. Please release a stable version of 0.7 soon, I get excited like a child on Christmas when my favourite tools gets updated :)
