The Debian packages are up, many thanks to Leith. There's a story on  
www.tinyos.net. Due to popular demand (and the fact that it's  
stabilized), the packages are for Feisty. RPMs and Debian packages  
for nesC 1.2.9 should be appearing soon. Instructions for 2.0.2  
(copied from the story) follow:

---

Ubuntu "Feisty" users now can grab TinyOS 2.0.2 from our Debian  
repository (in three easy steps...)

1] remove any old tinyos repository from /etc/apt/sources.list and  
add the following

deb http://tinyos.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/ubuntu feisty main

2] update your repository cache

sudo apt-get update

3] run your choice of

sudo apt-get install [tinyos, tinyos-avr, tinyos-msp430]

we've had inconsistent success with running apt-get upgrade tinyos,  
so for now it's best to play it safe and remove any old tinyos  
packages before installing the new ones.
