1) You can easily verify the valid of my e-mail looking my signature and/or searching me at freenode.
2) I'll repeat: this is a development version that I have started to code on Saturday, so it WILL have bugs and problems, but, like every other open source application, I need community help to improve it. To be more short: if you don't stay comfortable to install and test this software, just don't install or test this software. Many others might want to help the development. -- Ronan Arraes Jardim Chagas Control and Automation Engineer Gentoo Foundation Member Em Quinta-feira 07 Janeiro 2010, às 22:40:04, Mark Knecht escreveu: > I have no technical opinion about this app but I will say that: > > 1) It showed up in my GMail spam folder which is uncommon for me on > this list, and... > > 2) The idea of end-users installing ebuilds themselves from an unknown > individual delivered through an email list is about as insane as it > could be.
