There is a strange place in between "Debian stable" and "live checkout" that tends to have more harder to fix bugs than the "live checkout" version does. The problem with "Debian stable" is that it typically is lacking features an informed user would want. If you end up fixing the issue in the live version then you can more easily submit a pull request. If not, you can still revert to an old release. Cheers, R0b0t1

It (v0.13) does have bugs: a bug with that xmonad.state file that keeps appearing, a bug with xmobar that one have to put docksEventHook in config to make it respect the size of other windows again, configs from previous versions that do not work like they should. I understand that those are minor bugs for experienced users, but the testing keyword for this version would benefit and save from trouble such new converts to Gentoo as I am.

Perhaps you have a mismatch between your RUBY_TARGETS and the eselected version? Hans
