Oh really that stalled?   that'd be a bummer.


I'd rather install a binary, if there isn't a repo to install it from.  
I have compiled my own stuff, heck even in the day where it was the only 
way to run linux/unix.

But still ..  nowadays I rather just do a straight forward install.

 From what I hear, there is a 0.19 repo


thanks.
