Re: Neither irxevent nor irexec can start (0.8.6-CVS)

[Jeremy Y. <jy...@um...>]

Not sure what's going on with my recent emails to the group. I haven't
seen any come through in a while (submitted a man patch a few days ago
and haven't seen that either).

Anyway, I'm working on the Ubuntu PPA.  Thanks for the pointer to the
0.8.5pre2 one, I'll take a look and see if there are any changes he made
I should incorporate.

I'm hoping to have something published by the end of the week.  I'm
waiting on my man patch to make it into CVS and for some help from the
current Ubuntu package maintainer regarding the existing patches (I want
to clean them up significantly).  If all goes well I want to get 0.8.6
into Ubuntu main after it's released.

Jarod/Christoph, did you get the man patch?  Should I re-send?

Jeremy
