Hi Marcus,

That's great to hear that you're interested in it. Like you said, it
would be great to see all of it in Fedora, since it's great for the kind
of development that it targets.

Currently it doesn't build in Rawhide because of missing dependencies.
Also there's a new release that I spend a couple of weekends trying to
get to work, but eventually failed.

Have you had a chance to look at it yet and try it out?

Gerard.
