I held of packaging them at all for a long time but every indication was given that interfaces would be done for 1.18 and I wanted to try them so I built packages. I can't remember if ephoto also does, but I have test packages based off its last beta so if it does it would probably also need another beta. efm/verne/jesus also does but i'm only building that from git snapshots anyway so its less of an issue. In short really the people already using eo and those that want the regular 3 month releases back to a lesser extent really need to pitch in and get the work finished. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
