I'm taking out the "pre" because it's causing lots of problems to other
packagers.

As example the redhat package was named cssed-0.1.2pre-1.rpm.

Most applications are not using the project state string (betha, alpha
or pre) in the package names, so I finally will drop it from cssed's
package name.

BTW the "pre" was first used as "pre-beta" but the "beta" was taken out
because it makes the name too long.=20

Most distros take the "pre" as "pre-release" that's not the cssed's
state. ( My fault ;)

So from this point the project state will not be in the cssed's package
name.

Next release - first beta - will be 0.2.0, it will be only numeric and
grow incrementally to ease packaging.

What I posted is a snapshot of the new release 0.2.0. The release will
be this package, with some corrections, and a new CSS dialog (box
properties).

So please wait a little to upload the ebuild. ITOH you can make the
ebuild, as the building proccess will be the same in the release
package.=20

Now it's time to see the lacks of this package, and to ask to add new
features or fix bugs and/or anoyances, in the current package :)

The release date will be decided in the list.

At least, once the package will be finished we must wait a some days for
the translators ( Michele and me ;) to update the po files.

I will post this message in the list as I know this question will be
asked again there.

Best regards.=20
