Another issue is that FSO changes everything ever now and again, and one
loses touch with what upstream is doing. Joachim mentioned that he "lost
the overlook a bit".

I instead did not dare to look at the packages that Heiko has made
because I completely lost upstream. There is such a tangle of packages
and libraries with similar names, some of which are alternatives, some
of which are outdated, some of which are the future but do not work yet,
or break some application that everyone is using unless we update it to
somesuch version only found in someone's personal git plus the patch
posted in another mailing list a month ago. Or something like that.

I would welcome a summary of what packages are now needed for what, and
I guess that it would help more than myself.


Ciao,

Enrico
