Hooray for already solved problems! :D Too bad the baby is still sleeping. Time for new things to solve!
For the Gentoo ebuild, will the project consider releasing a source tarball, or is it just going to be a bzr (...git?) tag in the appropriate repository? I don't think it matters, I believe ebuilds can pull straight from repositories, but it'd be helpful to know what to target. -Ian On Tue, Sep 8, 2015 at 1:33 PM Adam Wolf <[email protected]> wrote: > Ian, I think you are right.
