First of all...very cool!

I hope to add the new repo to some of my systems to start benefiting from
the additional/updated software.

Now, the questions/issues... :)

The catalog [1] lists (or it says that it lists 59 packages.  There are
about 160 directories in oi-build/components.  Are things still building?
Are some of them not publishing?  Is the repo broken (out of date index)?

It looks like I'll be pushing out irssi to oi-build in the next day or two.
Sadly, that's included in the gnome-incorporation.  /experimental has
entire, sfw-incorporation, etc. but nothing to "fix" JDS.

Jeff.

AIX. But their universal translators were broken and they'd had to gesture a
lot.
