I used to use the monotone packages from the project itself
http://monotone.ca/downloads/0.34/ because ubuntu was not providing
recent enough packages to use with openembedded.org. I also have one
monotone server setup. To my great dismay, I found out that the upgrade
to monotone and monotone-server version 0.35-2ubuntu2 from ubuntu proper
zapped /etc/monotone/passphrases. No questions asked, no backup. I was
lucky enough to find out why all of the sudden the monotone server
refused to start up and have backup from which to restore the file.
