thx for the recap. marie did forward me the text and i indeed
saw the problem text. as you pointed out, it was valid at the
time but things have changed a bit since then.
i'll put into the queue that if/when we redistribute 2.0 we'll
update the README to reflect the package distributions/dependencies
accordingly. that said, i can't really see this happening given
priorities and the like.
with the pending jswdk 1.0/fcs release, we plan to distribute
thin README and HowTo type docs which will/should point back
to an online faq with which we will be better positioned to keep
updated without requiring package redistributions.
hope this helps,
- james
