Great! I'll change the PPA today to point to the new repository. Nothing will change for users. It usually takes one day for changes to "catch."
If you're making an OS X build, please consider working from Miguel's OS X scripting build script. He and Felix have put a lot of work into it (and I've got my build infrastructure working with it already.) :) "Give us this day our daily build / and forgive us our regressions" Adam Wolf Wayne and Layne, LLC On Apr 22, 2013 11:07 AM, "Maciej Suminski" <[email protected]> wrote: > First of all, thank you for all the comments and suggestions.
