[gobolinux-users] New release of Scripts and Compile

[Andy Feldman]

Great job to everyone who worked on this release! There are some cool new 
features I'm looking forward to using, and some excellent time-savers that 
will make using and administering my system easier. A couple specific notes 
below:

Neat. This can be very helpful when following instructions online that assume 
you already have certain packages installed... even if they say which Debian 
package contains the binary, that doesn't always correspond to a Gobo 
package. Where does it get its data? As new Recipes are submitted in the 
future, does someone have to maintain the list of binaries by hand?

Does this mean the kernel won't need to be shipped with a UnionFS patch any 
longer? I admire the Gobo principle of keeping every package as close to the 
original sources as possible, so it would be neat to see a reduction in 
kernel patches as a result of this improvement.

Yay... long-awaited. Thank you very much to everyone involved in making 
Compile fully functional when run as normal user.

Thanks again for the release.
