Because it presumably hasn't been released yet? FWIW, I'd very much
welcome some discussion on how the /opt/sfw development model works,
rather than having to wait to see the sources -
o How are the sources currently managed?
o How are the packages created?
o What's the process for upgrading the versions?
o Is each package assigned a specific maintainer?
o How are patches specific to building managed?
o What's the build environment?
I think there's a big potential win talking about how the development
process, what benefits there are, and how it could be improved.
Just my initial thoughts...
