thanks! works now.

don't mean to backseat the release process too much, but you should generally
not retag a new commit (breaks history of the tag for whoever already had it,
cached tarballs (me, funnily), ..), rather just release .2 .

these (s6-portable-utils-man-pages) fail to make install, because s6-test.1 was 
removed.

as a passerby (and professional bike-shed designer), i would agree that is the

bonus of not looking like "domain-specific jargon" one can look up; an extra
letter merely looks like a typo to those that don't already know.
