Developers and/or Bleeding Edge Code
-------------
Generally speaking, distributions are cut and released in conjunction with new changes being posted to the git repo; however, from time to time, there may be newer code available in the repo.
To use code directly from the repo, simply replace step #1 from above with a clone from the repo:
* $ git clone https://ader@git.code.sf.net/p/cryptik/code cryptik
