Christine, I've been forgetting for the last couple of months to ask for
comaint on PAUSE so I could push out a new release with the github
fixes. Could you set that up for me, please?

Collision alert!!! Sorry Jonas, I'd already migrated the packages over
to debian-perl, but apparently didn't remove the original repo. I need a
DD to check my work before I removed the original. Was using
`takeover-for-pkg-perl.sh` the right thing to do, or should I have just
moved the repo on alioth? 

I'd like to do one maintenance/bug fixing release upstream which would
also fix any outstanding debian bugs, so we shouldn't need CDBS or any
deb patches. In the future, I plan on removing all of the third-party
assets, so repacking won't be required post-wheezy. (for people not
installing via package managers, I'll add a script to download all the
required resources at install time).

I have a lot of notes on my ideas for the future of prophet and sd, and
another prophet-using app I've been planning. I'll write them up into
something useful and post them tomorrow. Hopefully nothing
controversial.

Ioan
