Hi everyone. If I can make a request, after releasing the next version of foresightlinux, would someone be willing to do a "teach how to package with conary" session? I tried to go through the documents, but I can't figure it out. It seems to jump around, it is hard to follow, and nothing I do seems to work. (I'm not that smart either). I would be willing to rewrite some of it as needed, and even do a video tutorial if I can figure it out. I just need to be able to figure it out first. This might be a good way to kick off the rebirth of foresight as well. Thanks.
