You could just have used CVS. But yeah, need to put that on the site. :)

Err, that's nothing to do with the abs script not working right? Since 
we have Gnome 2.14 in extra and 2.16.1 in testing you shouldn't have had 
to compile those.

Yes, we hardly modify stuff. In 90% of all cases it just plain works. 
Some things are handcrafted though, such as the kernels (of course heh) 
and CPU dependent things like mplayer are not compiled in the same way 
necessarily cos since we orient on G3 and not G4 have to disable Altivec 
and put on some special G3+ flags.

In fact it had:
