[arch-projects] Fwd: Re: Pending devtools patches

[Lukas Fleischer]

I forgot to CC arch-projects, but this might be interesting for all
devtools contributors. Given that Pierre seems to be kind of swamped the
last couple of weeks, I created a convenience branch where I merge all
patches that I consider to be ready for master (just to simplify
Pierre's job and hopefully speed things up a bit).

Check my original mail to Pierre for details:

I just created such a branch that contains all patches from
arch-projects [1]. I had to rebase almost all of them to apply (due to
my "Support non-standard install locations" patch changing the naming
scheme).
